I don't think Google would even ever want to take over MS. Google is slowly busy diversifying into other products aside from their Search engine. (Take the recent Gmail, IM etc as an example).

What I do see Google becoming is a "one stop shop" providing in all your needs. In the future you'll use GMail, GInstant Messaging, GTv, GWallet etc. They'll become the place you go to, with pages customized to all your needs/interests etc...

It will be interesting to see what they have up their sleeves. I like Google as a compony so it can only mean good things.

Do you really belive this is a posibility. Because G is the dominant forse in Internet Advertisment. But Microsoft is lot more diversificate.
I too dont think in the near future it would be possible. But who knows the future. I think the next 10yrs would be crucial. Microsoft's way of doing business is not ethical. History shows that. And google has done wonders in the last 7yrs. What Microsoft did in 30yrs, google has already done some 40-50% of that in just a matter of 7 yrs.

I would bet on Google, simple cos its doing things right and growing ethically... Every year they surprise us with awesome stuffs. google world, google maps(advanced), google wifi(the lastest stuff and more over its free) and just a few days back - google and nasa getting together.

I strongly feel Microsoft should get their acts together and start concentrating on doing business eithically rather than getting entangled in to more and more law suites and anti trust cases.

"For all their differences, the two companies have a lot in common. Microsoft looks at Google and sees its own past, full of promise. Google looks at Microsoft and sees the future - a swaggering company that dominates the tech landscape. It's a classic battle between youth and experience or, as Google likes to believe, good and evil. "

I strongly agree with this comment. I read an interview made to Steve Ballmer and he claim that G was the more like Microsoft company they had to compete with.

Well if the rumors in the stock exchange are tru Google is one step closer to Microsft. What rumors? That G will be added to the Standars & Poors 500. One of americas top 500 companies.

MSN is a strong company their growth is intimately tied with the overall US economy. While Google as yet, is still a "growth" company. In all likliehood they won't surpass MS any time soon.

Standard & Poor's said on Friday that it would add home builder Lennar Corp. (LEN) to the S&P 500 Index , snubbing Web search company Google Inc. as it replaced Gillette Co.

If you have asked that question 5 years back then my answer would be NO. But now I think that within next 10 years Google will be a bigger name than Microsoft in not only internet related services, But in OS and Software Solutions also.

I am waiting for the Google OS very eagerly. :-)
