Google will never be microsoft simply because the corporate side doesnt
mangle the researchers suggestions. I would also like to point out that
google is king simply because they genuinely are the best. Page ranking
(if you have ever looked at it in depth) is very cool. Until someone
surpasses it google are going to be around a while.

Ciao
