Επίθεση της Google στη Microsoft με αφορμή την πρόταση εξαγοράς της Yahoo

Αφορμή αντιπαράθεσης αποτελεί η πρόταση της Microsoft για εξαγορά της Yahoo. Η Google κατηγορεί τον όμιλο της Microsoft ότι παραβιάζει τα εσκαμμένα περί ανταγωνισμού, ενώ η αντίπαλη πλευρά αντιδρά, υποστηρίζοντας ότι η Google δημιουργεί μονοπώλιο στον τομέα της αναζήτησης στο Διαδίκτυο.

Ότι θα το έβλεπα και αυτό...

βγηκαν τα χρυσά μαχαίρια :devil:

Official Google Blog: Yahoo! and the future of the Internet

The criticism came in a blog post by David Drummond, Google's senior vice president and chief legal officer, who said the combination potentially threatens competition, recalling Microsoft's past run-ins with regulators over monopolistic behavior.

"Could Microsoft now attempt to exert the same sort of inappropriate and illegal influence over the Internet that it did with the PC?" he asked.

η απάντηση της Microsoft

"The combination of Microsoft and Yahoo will create a more competitive marketplace by establishing a compelling No. 2 competitor for Internet search and online advertising, The alternative scenarios only lead to less competition on the Internet."

He pointed out that Google has 65 % share of the U.S. search market and an 85 % share in Europe. In contrast, he said, Microsoft and Yahoo combined would control 30 % of the U.S. search market and 10 % in Europe.

Την πρόθεσή της να συμμαχήσει με τη Google εξετάζει η διοίκηση της Yahoo, για να μην εξαγοραστεί από την Microsoft.

Reuters is quoting anonymous sources at Yahoo! who claim Yahoo! has turned to Google in order to fend off the unwelcome advances of Microsoft. Any full-scale takeover would likely alarm anti-trust regulators even more than the Yahoo!-Microsoft deal going through. So some form of alliance or revenue guarantee is seen as more likely.

Yahoo management is considering revisiting talks it held with Google several months ago on an alliance as an alternative to Microsoft's bid

In a memo to Yahoo employees on Friday, which was obtained by Reuters on Sunday, Yahoo leaders wrote: "We want to emphasize that absolutely no decisions have been made -- and, despite what some people have tried to suggest, there's certainly no integration process underway."

Silicon Alley Insider: Why The Yahoo-Microsoft Deal Will Be a Disaster

Why will Microsoft-Yahoo be a disaster? Three reasons:

 

1. Pre-Deal Purgatory (κατι σαν... "προγαμιαίο κολαστήριο" ).

 

Even if Yahoo agrees to the deal tomorrow and everything goes smoothly, it will be almost a year before the transaction closes.

A lot will happen in a year, and neither Yahoo nor Google will sit still.

Innovation at both companies will also be stifled: Who wants to launch risky new products when they and anyone associated with them might suddenly be eliminated by a new management team?

 

 

2. At Microsoft, the Internet division will always be subservient to the Windows and Office cash cows.

 

Steve Ballmer knows which products butter his bread. So does everyone else who works at Microsoft.

Put differently, there is a fundamental difference between the way Google and Microsoft approach the Internet:

* Google wants to use the Internet to build a huge business (and, in the process, kill Microsoft--a mission that may end up becoming an Ahab-like obsession)

* Microsoft wants to use the Internet to protect its already huge Windows and Office businesses.

 

One strategy is offensive, the other defensive. At Google, every exciting new idea that undermines Microsoft's core business will be rushed into production. At Microsoft, every exciting new idea that undermines Microsoft's core business will be killed (or, at least, delayed).

 

 

3. No company can do everything, and Microsoft is already fighting too many wars.

 

Once the deal is complete, Microsoft will have 80,000 employees. It will be competing with:

* IBM, Oracle, SAP, Salesforce.com

* Apple, Sony, Nintendo, Research in Motion

* Google, Time Warner, Comcast, AT&T

 

Each of these business requires different skills, relationships, strategies, and expertise. Each faces strong, focused, rich competitors. The difficulty of winning wars on all these fronts at the same time is one reason Microsoft's Internet division has been sucking wind for the past 13 years (the other reason is the one above--it's a small sideline business for Microsoft).

 

 

 

Google has built its entire business around cloud computing.

Microsoft is trying to transform its entire business to avoid being killed by cloud computing. Yahoo or no Yahoo, the history of business (including Microsoft's) makes it crystal clear who's the favorite to win this war.
