Strange logic instance 6587

First, we have a contradiction.

Quoting.
First:
The flip side to the success of Google and Yahoo, explained Freed, is the smaller advances in revenues and satisfaction ratings received by the two Silicon Valley companies' major rivals, MSN and AOL, which, he said, "have had minimal growth, if any at all, in revenue, and trail Yahoo and Google significantly in satisfying their customers.

Then a paragraph or so later.
But while Google and Yahoo are seen as the clear leaders in their categories, their chief rivals are nipping at their heels.


Then we get a disconnection. MSN is a portal.

At the same time, Freed said, MSN will have a harder time coming back because of a perception that it's losing control of its strength, the desktop.

A desktop portal. Well, Microsoft does encourage use of MSN in its operating system. Is that what he means? No.

"The desktop is under attack, and while most people think of Linux as the attacker," Freed said, "I would actually think of Google as much more of a competitive threat."

The Google operating system? The Google portal?

If there's a way to make sense of this, your assistance will be appreciated.
