Well, let’s put it this way, the leader of Microsoft, Steve Ballmer wants to personally “bury” Eric Schmidt and the company Google. According to Mark Lucovsky’s sworn statement in the court days ago. Mark was a senior engineer and currently working in Google. He also worked for Sun Microsystems and was the CEO of Novell.

Here is Mark’s statement:

"At some point in the conversation, Mr. Ballmer said: 'Just tell me it's not Google,'"Lucovosky said in his statement. Mark replied that he was joining Google. "At that point, Mr. Ballmer picked up a chair and threw it across the room hitting a table in his office," Lucovosky recounted, adding that Ballmer then launched into a tirade about Google CEO Eric Schmidt. "I'm going to f***ing bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again.
I'm going to f***ing kill Google."

Carefully thought through, just how innovative has Microsoft been in the last 5-8 years? How many "killer applications" have been produced by Microsoft? Other than Microsoft Office, I can’t think of any. I have to admit that they are still doing everything right to sell the Windows product which is a product they tried to bandit for the last ten years. They spend most of their effort on acquiring companies that are threatening them and shut them down. Anyway, good luck to the search engine war against Google. This one is coming to stay I think…
