Microsoft, Google

Reuters has a story out today about Microsoft. Looks like they're firing the FUD gun up and targeting Google. This quote I found particularly amusing:

We do view Google more and more as a competitor. We believe that we can provide consumers with a better product and a better user experience. That's something that we're actively looking at doing," Bob Visse, director of marketing for Microsoft's MSN Internet services division, said.

Microsoft has wanted to own the web search space for a long time. I remember they had a building full of people as far back as 1997 working on a Google-like service. Posted by brian at April 3, 2003 01:56 PM
