| Google isn't Microsoft
I would trust Google over Microsoft any day. Microsoft manages to screw up everything and anything they touch. I have not had any problems with any of the stuff Google provides... not to mention, the Google toolbar is OPTIONAL software. Microsoft would force people to use it and make them figure out how to turn off the feature.

| That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. I love this mentality if its Google or Firefox its good and good for you, but if it says Microsoft its automatically bad. No proof needed that its bad, it just is.

Exactly.
Taking something granted as bad without explanation, reasoning is most stupid, retarded way of thinking. |

I'm not that giddy about Microsoft either, but I wouldn't go running to anything else just because it's not Microsoft. each platform has it's merits. Personally I hate additional toolbars anyways, it's just PC fluff. |

I'm an underdog kind of guy anyway. I am totally sick of hearing Google this and Firefox that. Don't use either one at all and can do anything that anyone else does.

Gee maybe because every manufactured PC comes with a M$ OS already installed. And they get $$ for it regardless if the user wiped the hard drive and installed something else. The only company I see not doing this Dell, but there offering aren't all that great.
If other companies grew some balls and started to offer alternative OSes I think the landscape would change. But until then they won't because they don't train a bunch of Indians to actually solve computer problems instead a reading a script.

Evry single anything that can be done on the phone is sent to India because all they did was train a bunch of people to read scripts and not really fix computers because they work cheaper. When all the support was in the US I could 1. have a chance of getting some-one when knew what they were talking about. 2. Wasn't blantly obvious they were reading a script. 3.Could talk to a supvisor, know you ask for a super the idiot hang-up on you. 4. Not have them repeat themselves 4-5 times because I can't understand their "english".
Did I go tad to far with that comment, maybe, I don't think so tho. Just trying to make a point that that most PC companies don't give a *. They make BS deals with M$ to make a POS $300 PC. They need to grow some balls and attempt to make a better product. Not cheaper.

I came across this little piece of software that I thought was pretty cool called LinkZu - »www.linkzu.com . Sort of like the Google thing but not nearly as intrusive. It also is more customizable with the linking ability. I thought hey now this is cool, why didn't Google think of it first. |

You sound like a shill working for Google. They are clearly just as greedy and untrustworthy as the next company. Remember all the Get-Search-CC redirectors you were deceptively referred to after a search, just so they could make money. All the paid sponsor links they're emphasizing just show how foolish anyone must be to think they can be trusted to have the consumer's interest in mind at all. |

Dude, Microsoft is OPTIONAL as well. No one's sticking a gun to your head and forcing anyone to use Microsoft. Therefore, it's optional. |

Google needs revenue - so watch out! they will get it anyway they can... even on the backs of webmasters trying to earn a living. Shortly, you'll see just how evil they can get.
Google and MS are about to have a big fight over SE technology and market dominance. Will be as big as the old IE vs. Netsc*pe who will win?
No, I trust neither MS or G**gle. And with more browser integration, Google will be part of your very own A** H*le. Better pucker up!

Take msn messenger as an example. Before messenger there was icq and yahoo messenger. Everyone was happy. Then came messenger. Now everyone uses it because its just there, with windows.
First - Messenger needs to be upgraded every 3 months. You cannot use older versions of messenger as it blocks you out. I have windows xp sp1 and messenger blocks me out because its too old. But upgrading requires the hassle of going through to the network administrator who has the security privileges.
Second - messenger pesters users to join its "customer improvement" programme, which is essentially eavesdropping. That message never goes away even if you select no, it will come back sooner or later.
Third - Messenger was the first instant messaging program to force users to put up with adverts and other commercial incentives - as if microsoft doesnt already have enough money.
Fourth - I dont like messengers interface and neither do many other people I know, but I am unable to use third party alternatives such as trillian because microsoft blocks themm out. Trillian is compatible with all other instant messaging services such as icq and yahoo.
ICQ and Yahoo are companies that continue to provide great products but are blocked out because of microsofts monopoly. If google can provide products better than microsoft, then they should be given all the support possible because before long, microsoft will bully them out of the market too. |
