Can’t they come up with anything on their own?? Oh yeah, they did. Windows Vista.

Check this out.

]]> http://scottberks.com/blog/2009/11/17/32/feed/ 0 Google is the new Microsoft http://scottberks.com/blog/2009/11/09/google-is-the-new-microsoft/ http://scottberks.com/blog/2009/11/09/google-is-the-new-microsoft/#comments Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:38:57 +0000 Scott Berks http://scottberks.com/blog/?p=23 It seems like Google has their hands in everything these days… Much like Microsoft. The only difference? Google is doing it right. OK, some might say not exactly right, but MUCH better than Microsoft has done. Google works with the user and conforms to them, not like Microsoft, who makes you do things their way.

If you really want to see a company who caters to the user, just check out Apple. They wrote the book on it.

But back to Google. Just today, I saw these headlines in the news:

Google buys mobile ad firm for $750 million

Deadline in Google book deal extended to Friday

So Google has bought a Mobile Ad Firm this week and wants the rights to millions of out-of-print books… And this is just this week, and today is Monday!

If it were Microsoft, they would get the books, sell them in 3 different versions, and make you put a password in each time you wanted to read them. I just don’t get you people and your Microsoft fascination. Why would you choose to be miserable with your computer?
