Just to contrast: Microsoft, the great innovator, has, heh, Encarta and MSN search

This isn't the thread BUT: Google have managed to write a program to rank web pages based on OTHER PEOPLE'S CONTENT.. and they wrote a nifty advertising program... Now, think for a second, then compare that to all of the original stuff that Microsoft has done.

Google and Microsoft are in a completely different sector. Google is a tiny tiny tiny ant in comparison to the massive MS ant-eater. There is no comparison, and no contrast.

Most of the programs that Google own have been bought - Blogger, That image thing (Picaso), and whatever else they have lying aroung.'

MSN bashing should be left for the MSN forum me thinks .. but in the long run, Google will be gone and forgotten long before MS.
