The New Your Times posted an article today called “Google Gets Ready to Rumble With Microsoft”

The growing confrontation between Google and Microsoft promises to be an epic business battle. It is likely to shape the prosperity and progress of both companies, and also inform how consumers and corporations work, shop, communicate and go about their digital lives.

It is an interesting discussion.  I think the tipping point will be when the digital generations get to late college and early career.  They will insist on more and more cloud computing which is which Google lives – at this point Microsoft had better have a solution which seamlessly integrates the office experience with the desktop and mobile via the internet – or be gone.
