Re: Has Google's Drummond ever heard the word "hypocrisy" ?
Buying companies for their human resources acquisition is not that different from buying companies for their product. It is just like Microsoft buying Groove just to get Ray Ozzie. Without the personnel Google gets from their acquisition I do not think they will be able to get where they are now. Saying Google becomes no.1 on their own is a strawman.
Last time I checked, Google buyout of DoubleClick is already approved in USA. Even that, those combo is not even a monopoly of online advertisement, that's why it was approved. So are with Yahoo+Microsoft. BTW, have you heard of Linux or Mac OSX? Those two are proof that no one is locked onto Microsoft software/products. And your suggestion that Microsoft will integrate Yahoo! products over their own such as Windows Live Messenger (still the biggest IM service on the planet), Hotmail (still have the most active accounts in the world), Windows Live Spaces (has more users than any other social-networking sites in the planet) in their OS is hogwash.
