Google all the way?

This bit of info was sent to me by my friend Anil.

Google looks all set to rule the world by the looks of their present undertakings. Google maybe the best thing to happen in the field of computers since Microsoft Windows (on the basis of accessibility to all). The search engine has anyway achieved historical status. Now, Google is foraying into the field of desktop machines as well, albeit in their own way of taking one small step at a time (release free beta and then release the pro version after the beta has raised a public interest, can be caled mass hysteria if you use a computer that is). They have already tied up with Sun, which may boost the Open Office suite Sun has already built. Smart strategy that(if someone is good at something and you are good at another and have mass following, then link up).

Whether Google will take over as the best in the field of computer technology and informaion management, time will tell. But, the kind of mass interest their products generate-even before it is released- surely shows signs of Google not backing down from this challenge as well(after all they could manage the internet using their search engine).

Surely the competitors are not bunny rabits. After all they have been at the top for years. Microsoft has been on top for more than a decade, which is no mean feat in a rutheless world where everyone's after you. But Google-even though it is a $3Bn company- is taking baby steps towards the stop. Will it be stopped in it tracks or will it be Google all the way?
