Microsoft : Google was a 'wake up call'
- By: The Founder [privmsg - website] On 27th Feb 2007 In
Watching Google Inc. rake in advertising revenue "was a wake-up call within Microsoft," the company's top technical executive, Ray Ozzie, said Tuesday. But he said Microsoft plans to do more than simply mimic Google by rolling out Web-based versions of desktop programs or following its particular search and advertising model.
Founder's Note:
'Microsoft plans to do more than simply mimic Google' ... Funny how Microsoft still uses Vaporware as their retort.
- Y! MyWeb
They Hit Snooze
After crushing Apple with windows 95 Gates & co seem to have gone on vacation.
Also, the xml feed isnt working for me - is it down or is there a problem with feedburner?
Mimic...that's all they do.
Zune = iPod
8gb Zune = iPod nano
Vista = OSX
Zune Phone = iPhone
MSN Search algorithm = trying to be like Google
Now...MSN ads and desktop applications...they are a few years behind the game if you ask me. They just wait for other companies to come up with something big and then they "steal" their ideas just like B. Gates stole Windows from Apple.
I just think it's funny that whenever someone comes up with a good idea, microsoft is sitting right there waiting to copy it.
