Google's revenue for the quarter was 10.65 billion, versus 8.58 billion a year ago.  This represents a 25% increase.  

Google's net income was 2.89 billion, versus 1.8billion a year ago.  This is about a 60% increase year over year.

Quite simply, google is growing at more than twice as fast as msft, so expect google to start to really pour some money into marketing and put the last nails in theWinPho coffin as msft will probably decide to find an easier market to go after.

What's NWO?

OT: Congrats Google! Maybe you'll use this to make Android easier and more accessible to update? Or to enfource better rules on Android? You need to use this on Android.

Google is also planning on a two for one stock split, which has been historically associated with an increase in price, so goog will soon have a higher market cap.

A: Google did well, no denying that, and better in the phone market than MS.

B: Overall Google is unlikely to catch MS as you seemed to imply sorta.

Thanks for explaining it to me.

That would never, ever happen though! XD

Google has been growing twice as fast as msft for the last 2-3'years.  That at least points to google having a decent chance at eclipsing msft's revenue and earnings in the years to come.  

My point was that msft is quickly becoming mediocre, and that is why other companies are taking away some of their business.  

Bing, wp7, IE, are all being threatened or in the case of bing, hanging by an ass hair.  Even the windows OS will lose some marketshare to Chrome, as other companies are wanting to make chrome computers now.

But Bing is growing YoY so is WP7, their market share is low but growth is not "hanging by an ass hair". And net books died with the advent of tablets, a segment that MS is going to make their big push into with Win 8.

Isnt MS's cap $604 bn reached in 1999?

Do you hate MS or something?
