I can understand that Google want this to go there way ,after all the talk about Microsoft having market share in software and disagreements with Google on aspects of its operating system, I find it hard to understand why people are so happy to see Google forcefully dominate search. It is obvious that this is the opinion of most probably a Google ,Mozilla and Apple fan. Microsoft are cool!! - Messenger, Server 2008, .NET, Outlook, Excel, XBOX, Surface, Mobile, IE8 (standards) , Vista!!!!!!! (works beutifully) - why don't you all just let this company be great!!!! and stop kissing the a** of these others.

XBOX? By that do you mean the XBOX 360 that my buddy sent to Microsoft TWICE for a red ring of death? IE8? That's still a work in progress. Besides FF3 will be out before IE8. Vista? That was/is the worst OS ever made. Unless someone needs to run big name Windows apps, I'd recommend Ubuntu over Vista. Much faster, way prettier, and a LINUX core. And what's wrong with Apple? OS X Leopard rocks. It runs a UNIX core. Server2008?! No mission-criticial server runs Windows. Let me say that again: No mission critical server runs Windows. They run UNIX or LINUX based OSes. Don't get me wrong, Google's stock price is insane, but I have no problem with them. I use google every 15 minutes. But, seriously, M$? Windows 7 is supposed to be a big step forward, we'll see what happens.
