Here’s a horror story; Microsoft and Google Partners?
Google’s search services are powered by Linux and their AdSense services are very popular with blogs (like Daily Wireless). Microsoft’s MSN is awful. Any Microsoft takeover of Google would likely be the end of civilization as we know it.
ZD Net reports plans are still vague for a possible IPO, which might value the company at more than $15 billion. The Times said that Google could sell a 10 percent to 15 percent stake to the public and raise about $2 billion. Goldman Sachs, the newspaper also wrote, might not make it to the final cut because Google reportedly is concerned about the firm’s close relationship with Microsoft and rival Yahoo Inc.
While marriage may be unlikely … “it demonstrates the enormous importance that Google represents as both a competitive threat to Microsoft and as Silicon Valley’s latest hope for a new financial boom,” the NY Times reported.
