What does Google think of Bing I wonder? I started looking around and found this great picture of Bing running on a Dell at a Google office. In all seriousness, I am hoping Google has a response to Bing shortly. If they do, I expect another response from Microsoft quickly. This is how innovation happens. This is how great products are built, and this is how we can finally go away from typing something into a text box, only to be presented with a bunch of advertisers and a billion lines of boring text that might lead to me an answer 60% of the time.
Silverlight forced Flash into high gear and start fixing problems they have had for years. Bing will force Google back into innovation action! As we all know from the operating system wars, the browser wars, and countless more examples, Microsoft is in this one for the long haul. People wrote off the XBOX, and it’s one of the most successful gaming platforms out there with a ridiculous amount of subscribers. People wrote off the Zune, but have failed to realize that Zune HD will come, and keep coming, until it succeeds. People wrote off Vista, but what Microsoft learned from Vista, they have improved in Windows 7. I truly believe success is not measured by how hard you can hit. I believe it’s more accurately measured by how many times and how quickly you can actually get up after being knocked down. Microsoft is the champ at this. I hope Google is ready for this storm.
The nice thing is at the end of the day, consumers always win.
