That's sort of like saying that Google is destroying Microsoft by building a better desktop OS. Cringely is talking about something disruptive, either in terms of technology (rich web apps being good enough to replace some desktop apps) or business models (a software company making money through advertising).To destroy Google, someone would have to beat them at what they make their money on - search and ads.
You don't beat the 800 lb. gorilla by being a 750 lb. gorilla, you beat it by building a gun.
