Google The New OS?
Posted By tbrillonDoes Microsoft secretly fear Google?
After watching the news and
reading articles about companies like Google and Microsoft, I am now
pretty confident of the reason MS is fearing Google.
With the onslaught
of popular Google tools like Gmail, Docs, Photos and Calendar, who
wouldn't be? Google has more tentacles than ten squids and from the
looks of it, there is no stopping the mammoth sized machine.
Early in 2007 Google
began chipping away at the enterprise level of mail by offering "Google Apps".
This poses as a serious threat to the MS Enterprise Server offering
when you begin look at the costs associated with buying licensing and
paying a team to run it.
Google outshines and outwits MS on nearly
every level. Why else would MS want to buy Yahoo? Without a large
presence on the internet they will have some trouble keeping up as I
feel that Google is setting its sights high enough to actually replace
the software giant in the future.
Yes. I said it. Google is slowing but
surely making everything available online. Why do I need to pay for MS
Office when I have Google Docs? Lets face it - in
a decade or so, Google could be pumping out PCs with just enough OS on
them to boot up to Google.com. Microsoft needs to wake up. But then again it might already be to late....
