Remember when Steve Jobs founder of Apple was obsessed about defeating IBM? Meanwhile Microsoft crept in and became their biggest competitor? Well Yahoo Jerry Yang has the same problem. He is so focused on Microsoft as an enemy he has the billionaire board fighting to replace him.

Microsoft and Yahoo are the only barrier to keep Google (who by the way I do love) from becoming a monopoly in several areas.

But Jerry is focused too much on the old blood feuds with Microsoft

**UPDATE I responded to the Steve Jobs nutcases that left comments on another blog.

Bill Gates did to Steve Jobs what Google is doing to Bill Gates

From hardware to software to open source (social) applications.

My how times have changed!

Remember the first Macintosh’s? Apple computers in the past were known for their cutting edge technology, in act they are today but with a few differences. What made Bill Gates his money was his ability to transfer easy usability of a Mac to ANY computer. By then it was no longer about the computer but the software on it. Today it is not about the software but the virtual software or applications. You can do the same thing on any computer on your Google apps, and documents that you can do from a Excel, or Word spreadsheets. The power that Google shares with Microsoft is its distribution capabilities.

Google stands apart from Microsoft however because of their ability to virtually reproduce their product/service at any volume with little or no cost. And in turn for the most part provide at little or no cost. I look forward to someone doing a movie about the search engine battle. Or the war on Open Social.
