Default Re: Microsoft's at it again

Since I live 3 miles from Apple Computer (no 's' on the end!), I took a look at the MSN version of the map.
It is a very old picture, circa 1986, before Apple built their new campus.
I worked for Apple until 1993, about a year after the new campus opened up.

When I scrolled to where my house is, there are a few empty lots that did not get built upon arround 1988, that was my second clue.

Remember that Microsoft does not have many creative ideas, they buy everything from their competitors.
Google on the other hand has some of the most creative and fun people on the planet. If you missed, it take a look at moon.google.com and zoom all the way in. Surprise.

Cheers, Doug

I recall an article within the last year stating that Microsoft has their sights on Google the way they did Netscape. They are out to get Google because they see them as a threat.

Windows Vista ("Longhorn" or a future patch of it) will embed a search engine the same way Internet Explorer was in Windows.
