It's Facebook v\s Google now...but still on Microsoft Windows

 Not more than a year ago, it was Google everywhere. Google was the thing, I even had a post in this blog about Microsoft v/s Google . Now it's all facebook...so much that the power of one website is challenging the dominance of a search engine, email, online docs..and much more which google offers. Facebook is so popular...and how? more than 500 million users and a net worth of 25 billion dollars..that's how!

  Google is catching up now. So much that, it offered one of it's employees ESOPS worth 1.5 million dollars to decline an offer to join FB. What's more...this year facebook hired a guy from IIT Kharagpur with an offer of 70 lakhs per annum (Rs) and also unconfirmed news about ESOPS worth Rs. 1.7 crores...

 When google was hot...I mean b4 FB cooled it down...people saw Google as the future. Why not...this is the era of the internet and google have everything it should to be the numero uno.

  And then...there is Microsoft. We all think that Microsoft is down and out because it is not much in the news as FB or Google..but hello do you realise that still more than 90% of the people in this world use Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office. Google and FB are online, people do use them but they go online using Windows and Internet Explorer....it's a win win for Microsoft...more you use FB,  you are using IE!

 Google is trying it's best to dethrone Microsoft. The search engine was such hit that Microsoft would have had nightmares...damn they would have had sleepless nights...the disaster of Vista would not have helped either...however Windows 7 has been a saviour for Microsoft.

 Those who have descent knowledge about it, Google Chrome is definetly a better browser than internet explorer...way better...so much that currently it is the best browser available. What about OS? Google's Android OS is destined to be the most used OS in smart phones by 2013...currently it's Symbian thanks to Nokia's legacy..but Google certainly has another up on Microsoft with regards to Mobile Computing.

 Google designed an OS around it's popular browser Chrome..called Google Chrome OS...just like the browser it is a stripped down OS which is fast and has a completely different architecture and they say it is foolproof against viruses, trojans and worms. The question shoud be, why does google has two OS? Especially when we can get netbooks with Android as well. Sergey Brin..one of the cofounder has to say they want an internal competition and ultimately take the positives out of both and build an ultimate OS which would power all....Desktops, laptops, netbooks, mobiles and tablets. Saying is one thing but beating Microsoft and the over 90% users addicted to Windows since last two decades...is another.

Microsoft vs Google

The biggest experiment in the history of mankind has started ,and nothing is gonna happen to us or the universe because of it, it will only bring useful results to solve several mysteries about the universe and its origin.

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.
