NOVÝ GOOGLOVSKÝ VYHĽADÁVAČ JE DOTERAZ NAJVäŠíM PRIAMIM ÚTOKOM NA MICROSOFT

Pred pár rokmy v Silicon Valley, došlo s veľkou nivinkou že google, neskôr  vyhľadávač, môžu pripravovať nový webovský prehliadač, ktorý by mal konkurovať tomu od Microsoftu nazývanému Internet Explorer dokonca operačný systém konkurujúci Microsoft Windows. Google sa na tým novinkám iba smial a zavrhol ich. Ale keď Sergey Brin, spoluzakladateľ googlu, sa zamyslel nad celou tou špekuláciou tak ho napadlo že to nieje zlý nápad. A tak tento týždeň google vypustil nový webovský vyhladávač, nazývaný Chrome, ktorý je akože operačným systémom. Chrome ma možnosť byť dôkazom vojny proti Microsoftu hoci iba vtedy keď je osoba zameraná proti Microsoftu. Doposiaľ, google za hanbí priznať rivalitu s Microsoftom(i keď je vidno že šéf Microsoftu je tým posadnutý). Vo vyhľadávaní na webe a reklame, google dominuje zhruba rovnako ako Microsoft v operačnom systéme a oficových(kancelárskych) aplikáciach.
