No doubt, Google and Microsoft are big giants in cyber world .Microsoft, a leading software vendor, claims that over 95% of computers in world use its operating system. When people talk about computer, Microsoft is the first thing that comes to peoples mind. Google, on the other hand, hosts biggest search engine and claims 63% of search in its pocket.

 

Microsoft and Google have been providing varieties of services to Internet users. They do compete in similar services like email, messenger, social networking, operating system, blogging, etc. But, there is no certainty that the competition is fair. In fact, Google is only a hope for knocking down Microsoft. Google has always tried to promote non-Microsoft products like Mozilla, Apple, Python, Ajax, etc. Microsoft, in order to maintain its losing grip on Internet users, is engaged in unethical games like stealing codecs from small vendors.

 

Recently, when Microsoft was trying to buy Yahoo, Google was the biggest opposer stating that it will be threat to Internet leading to monopoly of Microsoft. Yahoo, as known to all, is another big email & search engine service provider. But, Google has also made itself by buying other's services like Blogger, Picassa, etc. Microsoft however was busy to push its person to board of directors of Yahoo.

 

Concluding Remarks

 

There should not be monopoly of a vendor in Internet. Competition is a most for growth provided it is fair enough. In my opinion, Google should be promoted enough to stand in front of Microsoft & challenge it.
