Tech turf: Google vs. Microsoft


Another conceptualization of the Google-MS tussle is the "integrated online productivity" arena. Google Apps represents Google, and brings messaging, collaboration and conferencing features. It challenges MS Exchange and SharePoint, at least in the SMB domain. Microsoft has launched Microsoft BPOS in response.

Both Google and Microsoft trying grabbing market share in areas they are already solidly entrenched in. Instead of fighting over search or operating systems one of the company's should try to take over the online display market which is currently fragmented. Google won search, but Microsoft may yet have a chance to win in online display.
