I don't think so (or rather I really hope not) since there is too much innovation being developed there. I think that they have the resources and talent to stay one step ahead of MS in their field. But it is hard to say no when MS offers the top brass of competing products wages, benifits and development environments for some of the coolest R&D going on in the world. So we can't even say that so and so sold out to the devil since it would be hard for the biggest geek to say no to such offers. Realizing all this I still think that Google has a good chance of being around for my grandchildren.

My vote is for Google, for now. I called up my neighborhood on both. MSN's map move response was very slow, and half the time won't display properly without reloading the page. The picture is also blurry. I couldn't even make out my house. Google's response is much faster and their images are much clearer. I could make out my house and yard, though I couldn't see my pool. No problem.
