Microsoft VS Google

2010 will bring an all new competitor to the OS market in addition to the typical apple and windows 7 operating systems.

The Google OS is expected to debut this year.

I think it's funny to think about how Microsoft and Google's roles seem to be switching. Microsoft is aiming to increase the popularity of Bing, their search engine, while Google is the one who's main goal is to improve their OS. 
In fact, Microsoft is spending $50 in marketing to promote Bing, and will be controlling Yahoo search later this year. While on the other end, Google is heavily promoting their OS and keeping the announcement of Google's improved search engine functionality primarily to themselves.

Why? It's because Google controls the search engine industry, and Microsoft controls the OS industry. Both software giants are now aiming to gain complete control of everything technologically related, causing the clash to begin.
Once Google officially releases their OS, each will have their own line of products that, together, can an allow you to accomplish everything you'd like to do on your computer, and the internet. Hotmail and Gmail, Windows 7 and Google OS, Bing and Google search, Google talk and MSN messenger, Google docs and Microsoft office, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer, Windows mobile and the Droid, etc. So what's left?
What's left is dominating each industry, and to do so, Microsoft and Google are switching their approaches.

In the future, will BIng be the most popular search engine, while Google is the most popular OS? Only time will tell....
