Google v/s Microsoft: The war for internet users
Greg Linden writes in Is Microsoft’s Web war lost? and believes that Microsoft can still win the internet war with Google.
The key though as far as I see is in perception, Search though an important part, is not the Internet neither is it the Web. Here are some numbers of Microsoft (MSN, Live) service users from Microsoft TechEd 2006 where Microsoft is ahead in quest for Internet users:
- 240 million Hotmail users
- 230 million MSN messenger users
- 72 million MSN Spaces (blogging, photos etc)
And in blogging it started after Google’s own service (blogger.com)
Google and others know this and so does Microsoft, we the audience sometimes forget.
