I've been thinking, Google is slowly trying to be the next Microsoft. With the launch of Google Chrome, the world moves one step ahead towards browser+hardware platform. So, we can very well accept that in future, the need for Operating systems (read Microsoft Windows) will be eliminated.
So far, Google has been funding the Mozilla Firefox project. But with the launch of their own browser, which is a direct competition to Mozilla Firefox, their relationship with Mozilla is not going to last forever. Google recently hired two lead Firefox engineers and Mozilla is certainly not happy about it.
Microsoft, in the mean time, has been trying hard to make IE 8 super rich. But since the world seems to favor everything that Google does - IE 8 is going to see some good competition. Will Chrome put an end to Windows? Will Chrome end the good Firefox?
What do you think?
Answer!!
No, Microsoft is a toughest competitor. Googles one web browser can't challenge the kingdom of MS.
Also very few people know about such highly technical things, other still rely on MS.
MS will also be coming with so many new features, they are the masters in selling products to people. More than that, MS is been known to people for so many years, so marketing of their new products is not going to be tough for them.
About mozilla firefox, we can have 2-3 web browsers in our system .
So I guess, if good featuring from mozilla continues, it will survie.
Answer 2 !!
Mozilla still remains the favorite browser for lot of people like me. And I think it will continue to be so until Google comes up with some thing kick ass which even Mozilla cant beat.
As far as Microsoft is concerned, they may be feeling a bit left out but are surely gathering steam. Their Media Room initiative is gearing up for that big IPTV launch ( this is from a MS insider). This is just an example how Microsoft is trying to explore territories with no presence from its nearest competitors. For that matter even Yahoo! has collaborated with Intel for lot of initiatives in interactive media (including launching an IPTV again that will run by your Yahoo messenger account.)
Google's attempt at domination of the web world on the other hand will continue. Whether they can completely beat Microsoft or not is a question even Larry Page may not be able to answer.
Answer 3!!
I really do not think that Google and MS are competing on the same turf. If MS has its vast suite of applications, Google has its suite of web-based applications. Both of them need each other to survive, so what if there is some competition between the areas that overlap. e.g Desktop based search, IM, browsers, et al.
Answer 4!!
"Google Chrome is partly a defensive move as Microsoft is incorporating functionality in new browsers that may block the collection of ad targeting information," Stifel Nicolaus analyst George Askew wrote in a note Tuesday.
And google runs on advertisements. Google is manipulating the search engines to show the results it desires. It is trying to force everything its way!
Down with google! I am thinking switching to live for search after I did a quick search for the keyword "google chrome" on google and live, which confirmed my doubts about google.
Result will be offered soon!!
