Why Microsoft wants to buy - then trash - Google

[obemon]

Ahh ok. It's from the Inquirer. It must be true.

MS doesn't have the money to buy Google. Considering this is from the inquirer, yeah, I don't even want to read it.

Linux was around long before Google and it will be around long after Google dies.

- In my own opinion I think they have the money to buy Google and I think it would be a very big mistake if
google will allow this.

- just can't imagine life without google..hehe

Microsoft couldn't even buy Yahoo! at under 40 billion. How is it going to buy Google at close to 180 billion? A merger would be more realistic, but then again, their businesses aren't compatible. Google might be a search giant, but Microsoft's business is a whole lot more diversified and the US government would slap them silly with anti-trust violations if they even let them get that far.

The math doesn't add up. Math has no use for opinions.
