Sebastian Thrun: Google's Driverless Car
Microsoft will have Google licked in 6 months
I seem to remember not too long ago Microsoft
claiming that the new MSN Search was going to mop the floors with Google. Whether or not I just imagined that, Microsoft
is playing the same tune today. Reuters reports that Microsoft expects to "be more relevant in the U.S. market
place than Google" in six months time with
the launch of a new search engine. They claim the new search engine will do more than just fetch URLs, pulling
relevant data from around the web like real estate and restaurant listings instead of just links. That sounds familiar.
While Microsoft's dream of having Google beat in six months seem, to put it kindly, a little fanciful—a year or
two and anything could happen, but six months?—I have no doubt that they're up to something interesting and that
Google won't spend the intervening time resting on its laurels.[Via Slashdot]

They will probably disable google from coming up when using vista, no doubt, thats a way to stop them advancing...

naw.
i think that in SIX MONTHS, microsoft will be so overwhelmed with fixes/patches/flaws/security issues with Vista, that they cant "be more relevant in the U.S. market place than Google"

Perhaps you are missing the point. Maybe Microsoft has just calculated the downward slope of Google's relevancy and it looks like they'll be even in 6 months?
You can blast away at Microsoft as much as you want, but Google isn't doing anybody but themselves any favors. If you eliminate links to eBay and Google 'farmers' you aren't left with much.
