So...
... if you had a chance to buy microsoft.com, you wouldn't?? The truth is that they are being smart. We all live in a world of recycled ideas. We know that for less money and a lot more effort we can build our own car or house. We don't do that sort of thing because we like fast-food and corner stores. Most people like paying someone else to read those books and do that research and make our hamburgers and tacos. Google simply spends a lot more money doing the same sort of thing that every person in a developed country takes for granted and does every single day.

What's wrong with that??

Nothing.
