Ballmer on Google
January 11, 2009
Richard Waters’ ”
Microsoft’s quest to beat Google” here is less about the Google challenge and more about a string of problems. You can read the story here. For me the most interesting bit in the write up was this paragraph:
And, while [Ballmer was] generally dismissive of Google’s venture into smartphones, he acknowledged it would be a long time before Microsoft would catch up with regards to search software. “Google’s a great company, they’ve certainly got great market share and a decent product,” he said.
Yep, decent. I wonder when Microsoft will close the gap between Live.com and Google.com. Time may be running out.
