With or Without Apple, Google Will Crush Microsoft

Recently bought a new laptop w/ Windows8-I’ll never buy another Microsoft product again-my next ‘puter will be, if not an Apple, something else-FYBG!

Google may work for some, but I don’t want my stuff in the cloud. Sadly Microsoft is going that way too with renting Office.

[RightGeek]

Can’t argue with that. Microsoft seems to be the master of foot shots.

For the past few years I’ve thought that Microsoft is pretty much just ‘sitting there’ and waiting to be replaced by ‘something’. They seem to try to do it all, and end up sucking at just about everything. They need to narrow their focus and do those things better, if it isn’t too late already.

As long as you don’t mind Google mining the crap out of every document you own or create and selling that info...

M$ deserves to die.

I made the change to an 8.1 upgrade. I’ve grown to like it.

$24.5 billion yearly income. Microsoft is dying. Celebrate!

[Revolting cat!]

$24.5 billion QUARTERLY income. Microsoft is dying. Celebrate!

RE: $24.5 billion QUARTERLY income. Microsoft is dying. Celebrate!

OK, what’s Google’s quarterly revenue in comparison?

What’s a “badwhereas”? (Your tag line)

Google makes all of its money by selling your information all over the world. Who cares what their business software loos like?

Only regret with windows eight was not getting a touch screen. I upgraded to 8.1 for free and bought an RT Nokia surface for the road. I think it is better than Windows 7.

Microshaft may be shooting itself in the foot every few years, but I will NEVER use anybody's freaking cloud for my data and documents.

Did I mention NEVER!?

That’s the gist. Whatever you are doing on Google, Google owns it.

If you’re wanting to get rid of google as your search engine, I highly recommend GoodSearch.com.

Not only is it a great search engine, but when you first sign on, you are asked to name a “charity” of your choice. Every time you do a search, your designated charity gets a few pennies.

If you do a lot of searches, those pennies will certainly add up.

BTW, my “charity” is Second Amendment Sisters.org

We have earned a couple hundred dollars using GoodSearch.com

[Revolting cat!]

I dunno!

Everyone should be concerned about that. When Google gives you something for free, then YOU are the product.

I bought my SO a new Win8 laptop for Christmas. I upgraded it to 8.1 and installed Classic Windows. I have yet to hear her complain that her computer is possessed. It is really pretty good.
