malus's Journal: MS attacks google?

the thought just came to me, and it's something I guess a lot of other people have come to already.

I like Google. it does a good job. But, it is just another company, like the rest. I like the way it came about, the way it runs, and the OS it depends on.

I wonder when, how, and even if MS is going to attack it?

Google will prove to be a most capable opponent of The Microsoft, in it's latest venture: Search Engine technology. My assumption, is that microsoft is going to do what it always does in the face of competition... Attack.

I wonder if Google has considered this as a possibility, and I wonder if it is even *a* possibility. There are known hacks, and exploits in google, of this there is no doubt. The best way to get people to consider a new search engine, is to provide one which is better than one which is bad. So, is it possible for microsoft to, through it's typical means of dirty-games, "make google bad"?
