At his 10th annual CEO Summit Wednesday, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates hinted the software giant will crush Google in the same way that it crushed Netscape -- by integrating enterprise search deeply into Windows Vista, Office 2007, Outlook 2007 and SharePoint 2007 and with the rest of the Windows platform and also with emerging web services from Microsoft.
Technology wise, I think he should be more worried about companies such as Concept Searching and FAST than the Goog.

Maybe, but Microsoft could buy either of those smaller companies to assist with the 'crushing'.
It's obvious that M$ have the advantage when developing a search system that's integrated with Windows, will that give them enough of a catch-up on the mammoth lead that Google has on them in search though?
It will be interesting.
For example, the top priority in enterprice search is not avoiding spam :o)
