Re: Has Google's Drummond ever heard the word "hypocrisy" ? I was thinking exactly the same thing. Google is to on-line ads and search what Microsoft is to operating systems. Instead of whining about Microsoft trying to challenge its turf, it should leverage its position to create its own Linux distro to challenge Windows in corporate America or get behind one of the others with funding and R&D to make it more competitive.
IMO - allowing the merger and having Google challenge Microsoft's desktop will achieve more for the market than having Google spoon-feed Yahoo! some deals to torpedo the merger. If that happens, Google and Microsoft keep their respective positions and we lose.
I don't hate Microsoft or Windows but I truly didn't think the Vista egg was possible. Since Vista and Windows ME are of different lineage how could Microsoft lay a "Window ME"-like egg with Vista?!?!?
Someone needs to step in and make them pay with 20 or 30% market share drop. That would shake Microsoft's foundation and maybe they wouldn't "innovate" so much as to create a pile like Vista in the future. Imagine, taking a PC with 1GB of RAM that runs XP really well and have it pant and struggle to run Vista. That's what I call a fat, bloated pile. |
