Google Revealed; Pundit Progress Evident
October 24, 2009
If you want to “know” what Google is doing, you will want to read “Google Competes for the Future; Microsoft, the Past”. The write up uses the word “legacy” which I find heartwarming. The notion of a “legacy” is an important one. Furthermore, without the burden of “legacy software”, Google can move more quickly than Microsoft at least in certain business and technical sectors. For more information about the Google “legacy” metaphor, you may want to take a look at this monograph, written in 2004 and published in the UK in 2005. I think there’s a picture in the monograph showing how legacy software creates some challenges for Google’s competitors.

My publisher promised to send me a royalty check, so this is a paid-up promotional write up. Should I notify MARAD or whatever agency regulates my blog posts?
