Re:Google is more than a search engine... (Score 1)

They are certainly competing, yes. But Google doesn't have as much "product" to offer. Their search may be ingrained in all of us and they may have had a great IPO, but I don't know how they'll hold up. Don't get me wrong; I love Google. They're great, and I'm sure they'll continue to expand the information market. But AdWords and other ad-generated revenue can only take a company so far. They must continue to expand well beyond their current realm to find additional revenue and if they can do so, I'm sure they'll do it well. If they don't I think they'll hit a sort of "revenue cap" where the market won't support a giant like MS with ad delivery as income.
