Google is the new Microsoft

By Charles-Henry Ruyant

Ten years ago, Google used to be a nice little search engine. People liked Google for its independence and its different way of seeing the world (or at least Internet). In contrast, Microsoft ten years ago was the big corporation which wanted to control everything.

Today Microsoft is not so omnipresent anymore and doesn’t really annoy anyone. Google has still a got a good reputation and people still like them but I think that it going to change soon. Effectively, over the past three years Google has created these additional services: search engine, email, calendar, YouTube, phone, internet software, and now the new Operation System (O.S.) for computer.

Google Everywhere

They have done the opposite of Microsoft – starting via the internet to finally producing some software. Google has different strategy to Microsoft by trying to make its products free. It will be the same with this new O.S.

How very generous of them?…I’m not so convinced. A few months ago some senior Google managers decided they wanted to increase profits. Do you remember YouTube’s (owned by Google), new ads on the videos?. .. Google generally offers the latest innovations for free, but they almost all always come with advertising.

So when Google announced that they are going to develop a O.S. for free, I cant help but wonder where they are going to add some adverts to this nice O.S. or how there are going to make some money with this service.

Or maybe I am totally wrong and Google want to get back at Microsoft after they went after Google’s primary market (with Microsoft’s new search engine – Bing).

And to be honest, I starting to be tired of seeing Google everywhere…
