Default Why is Microsoft Afraid of Google?

http://www.netcrucible.com/blog/Why+Is+Microsoft+Afraid+Of+Google.aspx

"Another example is Google Earth vs. Virtual Earth. VE shipped slightly after Google Earth, but do people really think MSFT saw Google Earth and then "real quick like" copied the whole thing in a month or two? The company must really be invincible. Or take Messenger, which has been shipping new releases three times a year. Google just shipped their first version. Please don't say we pre-emptively copied Google."

This may be as off-topic as off-topic can be, but I thought Joshua's post brings up some very good points and besides, it's Friday. In all seriousness, I think Joshua's post on his blog, Better Living Through Software, is bang on the money - Microsoft needs Google just as it needs Symbian. Give the article a read, and let me know what you think.
