Interesting bit of MuSoft vs Google from Infoweek

InformationWeek > John Foley > Business Technology: Microsoft Vs. Google: A Rorschach Test > August 1, 2005

In general, Google comes out on top

Of interest, to me, is:
"Operating system? Windows. Yes, Windows. There's a lot of talk that Google's software-delivery model--apps offered online to anyone, anytime, at no cost--represents a new kind of computer operating environment, one that doesn't bode well for antiquities like Windows XP and, next, Windows Vista. But I can't help but believe that computers will continue to need a real operating system and that Microsoft's integrated approach to everything from high-tech wristwatches to data-center servers has staying power. I'm betting there's room for both approaches, though the line, admittedly, is getting fuzzy."

Ouch to the Monoloply Model (time to retire Eminem)
