Microsoft to go after Google.
According to this Yahoo article Microsoft is planning to crush Google in the search engine market. 
Good luck.
Let's just hope google stays I private company. I don't want them to be bought out.

how does MS plan to compete with google, i mean i'm sure they can make a good search engine (hahaha) but google has been working with web pages for so long and has 3,083,324,652 indexed and many cached...i'm pretty sure this took a while...not to mention they won over other search engines
f*** MS, i will use google, cuz u knwo to use MS's u'll ahve to go to msn.com
google is my homepage, its powerful and simple
I hope MS invests tens of billions of dollars in this and loses it all, and a good deal besides. I'm beyond tired of their antics.
Microsoft has said its been searching for ways to capitalize on its various technologies, for example data retrieval and analysis, by entering new markets. It has also targeted security software.
BAAAAAHAAAHHAHAHA! No wonder XP has more security holes than swiss cheese!

They can always remain a private company and still be profitable.
let's face it, MS will lie, cheat, steal, or buy out every person or company that gets in their way.
if you're faced with the prospect of a few hundred mil. in cash, or a three year battle you can't possiblly win, which route would you go?
just look at what MS has done to
WordPerfect
IBM
Netscape
Lotus
Soon to be added to that list:
AOL
Nintendo

Don't you think that - in a way - Apple already should be on that list?

MS will work to keep them alive and viable so they don't go back to court, but will always make sure they don't climb over 12% market share.
they're not dead dead, but they'll never be a major player again, at least not by anything they do.
i fully believe MS may do enough stupid things to piss of enough people that we'll see Apple climb back up to the top. i just don't think that they'd be able to assault and beat MS if MS was actively working to stop it.
if they keep up their stupid ass registration crap every time i change out my hardware, then yeah, Apple will take off.

well, i was going to put Apple on the list, but they're in the unique position of being MS's bitch for life now.

Only pirates change their software. Good, law-abiding Microsof...I mean U.S. citizens buy a system from Dell and never do anything to it until it's time to buy a new Dell. Microsoft isn't that stupid. If too many people start going over to Apple or Linux, then they will just remove the offending features and woo them back with marketing. Microsoft has HUGE pockets full of money to burn. The only thing that might cause their collapse would be another Great Depression when all their money becomes worthless.

Yes pardon me if i am wrong, but swiss gruyere has no holes contrary to the french one.
I'm sorry but this is a recipe for disaster. I'm serious, it's in a cookbook I read:
Disaster:
-2 tbs of this
-A pinch of that
-4 cups of something that doesn't seem to mix well with 'this' and 'that'
Mix all together with a vague strategic mission and serve. You can only use this recipe once.
MS' focus: there's no 'focus'...control the PC and Server market, control the office applications, control the game market, control the internet, control the digital media market, control users minds, and conquer the world.
That's a little too ambitious...again, MS is tripping and will soon fall flat on its face.

What are you nuts MS can't touch nintendo. Whenever the big N gets into trouble they just release a pokemon game on GBA and it becomes the best selling game of the year

Yeah, Nintendo is pretty safe. Nintendo fans are more loyal than Apple users. Plus, Nintendo makes excelent first party games that will keep them in business even if every 3rd party developer jumps on the XBox or PS2.
Sony is doing extremely well in the console market, and MS won't go anywhere until they're dominant. i don't think that nintendo will survive this unless the japanese firms all get together to screw over MS.
if it makes you feel any better, the only console i own is a GC, i just don't think they'll survive.
time will tell though.

Nintendo has already commited to a new console in 2005. I think they're still making money. The GameCube isn't the cash cow, it's the games. They had 600,000 pre-orders for the new Zelda game, a new record. I've played it too. Oh my god, gaming bliss.
Nintendo is like Apple. They can keep going even in a niche market.
