Google =! Microsoft

Before associating Google to any monopolistic positions, one should distinguish a leap distinction between Google and Microsoft.

There is a fundamental difference between the two companies. Microsoft believes in application/centralized centric data models. Google believes in true sharing and distribution of data. Microsoft is stuck in an old paradigm.It will fade away and become relatively unimportant and Google will continue to grow in the direction of distributed computing.

Microsoft is a paranoid, holier than thou company that is struggling to try to control it dominance by forcing users to do run their lives its way not the way those users want to. Google gives people real communication, options and sharing. Microsoft doesn’t really believe in communication. It only understands it in one direction.

History is replete with dinosaurs that attempted to control their market share this way.

Long live Google.
