Quote: Google on Microsoft and the Mainframe
May 25, 2011
Quote to note. The juicy bit is in bold. The source is eWeek’s “Microsoft, Google Business-Cloud Battle Getting Vicious.”
But matching cloud-hosted services against their on-premises brethren, as Google likes to point out, can be construed as a case of apples-versus-oranges: an imperfect comparison, to say the least. “Comparing Google to legacy on-premises software makes no sense,” Andrew Kovacs, a Google spokesperson, wrote in an email to eWEEK. “It’s like questioning Microsoft’s market share in mainframe computers.” He also claimed that Google is “the leading choice of businesses for cloud email and collaboration, which is where the market is headed.”
Gtrat stuff.
