Microsoft might kill Google, or at least reduce their profits and limit
them. The biggest problem is the energizer bunny that just keeps on going ... and going : Linux and Open Source. Don't forget that Open Source is what enabled Google to create the fastest, most scalable and reliable web service on the planet. I actually consider Google an open source company. As time goes on, you will see more and more Google engineers working on open source products.

And, the problem for Microsoft, they use those billions to kill any open source company they want. The problem is that a stronger more competitive company will rise out of the ashes. You can NOT destroy the source.
