Google Ahead in Innovation?

By Peter Galli

Even before company Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates had finished explaining Microsoft Corp.'s new Windows Live and Office Live offerings, industry observers and analysts were already saying that search giant Google Inc. still has the upper hand and warning that Microsoft needs to overhaul "its culture of derivative innovation."

In his Oct. 31 online commentary, "My View: The Google Future," Forrester Research Inc. Chairman and CEO George Colony said his Cambridge, Mass., company is predicting that Web pages will be replaced by a new software model known as the executable Internet, or X Internet, that will allow users to do much more than is possible with old, static Web pages.

Ahead in innovation? What has Google put out other than search? They put out dinky web pages that no one uses.

Look at .NET, Office 2007 and SharePoint 2007. Now there is innovation.

And what is this executable internet thing? Do you mean something like .NET ClickOnce? Certainly Google won't and Mozilla won't be able to push some "standard" -- they don't have enough control on the market. Get ready for Microsoft to take over the deployment of these new applications you're talking about.
