Well today I would like to talk about two big software companies of my time Microsoft and Google. Google is a fairly new company founded in 1995 but has grown ever since. It has the famous search engine, gmail, orkut, blogger, google health and many other things. It is very popular name and has become number one company in IT industry.
Microsoft ,on the other hand was founded in 1975. In 1983 Microsoft announced the development of Windows, a graphical user interface (GUI) for its own operating system (MS-DOS) that had shipped for IBM PC and compatible computers since 1981. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates made a fortune out of this company and was the richest man in the world for quiet a while.
Microsoft had many competitors ,one of them was netscape, netscape had developed a browser netscape navigator , which became very popular until micorsoft started shipping IE with its operating system , Google has recently launced a beta version of its browser chrome.
With linux and open source gaining popularity and Bill Gates resigning, and perhaps many other reasons have made google ,the numero uno now.

YES!
Google is the future and Microsoft is the past...although Microsoft is still trying very hard to stay on top...
But actually, there is not a direct co-relation between these two companies...maybe Apple is a more direct competition to Microsoft as a whole...
