Google wants a piece of Microsoft?

Filed under: New Initiatives, Google — timwang @ 01:31:37 am

There have been multiple times that Bill Gates mentioned in the public that one of his biggest regret which is also one of the Microsoft’s biggest misjudgment is to let Google took the lead in the search engine industry. Gates also warned Google to look out that Microsoft is not giving up on the big pie; they will upgrade their current search functions which are built in their operating system and browser to compete and gain back the lost market. However, internet rumors say one of their core OS engineer - Mark Lucovsky has switched over to Google. Although no one knows what kind position is he going to hold in Google. Mark worked for Microsoft more than 16 years, and he is one of the core developers in Windows NT technology (in charge of NT core, Win32 runtime components development). Mark has expressed his disagreement on how Microsoft Ships Software via his blog. However, the million dollar question is what does Google want from Mark? A Google OS? With Firefox, I guess Google is really ready to take on Microsoft’s next generation product – Longhorn.
