Google Vs Microsoft

Kinda unrelated comparison. But still, people love to talk about it. Its more like a religious issue for some. Well, I would like to join the party too!!!

I think as long as google doesn't come up with their OS, there is nothing to compare. But then also, if it is google, it will be open source. And frankly, there are very less tech savvy people on this planet who will say "ok... I am gonna download/install operating system on my laptop today". And when you buy a laptop, you will get windows with it. Because microsoft pays these guys. Dell is not going to give any open source OS on its laptops. Even if one fine day they decide to give google OS with their laptops, it is gonna take a while to uproot a giant which is already in business for 15 odd years. People are so damn used to windows and they love it. Microsoft knows how to make crap, and they know how to sell it!

How google makes money still beats me. Yea, I know its through advertisements. When people click on the link, google gets money. But there will be one day when these ad guys will realize that advertisements done through TV/radio fetch more clients as compared to online stuff. Really, how many people will be buying stuff through online ads. And even if it is large, as compared to microsoft who have a constant revenue generating product, its nothing.

But imagine this. Google n apple coming together. One is the king of online searches and the other is master of hardware. Together they can kick microsoft's ass... big time...
