Microsoft vs.

Google
The Internet Battlefield

Microsoft walks toward innovation in the recent years it

would be better to say they familiarized with it newly.
Microsoft has suffered from lacking of innovation and
creativeness in their products and services for ages but
after being defeated by a new creative rival (Google) in
the Internet battlefield they finally has jumped in.
Consequently their policies and main pillars underwent a
revolution. Nowadays whenever you surf the Net you are
encountered with a new, creative and outstanding service
like 2.5 GB mailboxes (Gmail), Instant Messengers(Hello and
Google Talk), Google Earth, Google Software Pack and so
forth which Google originate. On the other side the big boy
(Microsoft) walks with a gentle pace as always. However a
lot of people think Google will win the game and Microsoft
has fallen behind but you should take this into account
that the big part of computer world (software) is the
Microsoft’s kingdom and Microsoft has already depicted that
in long term contest they will be the winner for sure
(Internet Explorer vs. Netscape war), and last but not the
least Bill Gates’s bank account plays a great role in this
rivalry. Thus they are trying to come up with some
solutions in order to win the game like (Microsoft’s
www.Live.com, www.officelive.com, Live Messenger, Windows
Vista, MSN Space, IE 7 etc.). So predicting the result is
something that I do not know and do not care because the
more severe competition the more benefit we (users) get.
