Sad to see them getting away with it.
Dallas uses logics here, keep it up dude.
Anyway, amazing results for google.

Well....that's just simply not true. Dallas is just being silly and acting like MS will become irrelevent shortly. You can hate them all you want but they aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

I believe that I said that msft is approaching mediocrity, which is after all, a couple of steps above irrelevant ( which you can't spell btw).

It's better than msfts revenue growth, which is mabey 10% for the last couple anyway. As I mentioned, google will be catching up financially speaking, and that will bode some trouble for msft wanting to get into the tablet market and smartphones (if it hasn't already lost this)

Nah, I don't really see it that way. Both companies have very deep pockets. Either one has the financial resources to execute whatever strategy they think best in mobile. The bigger issue is which one has better strategic resources and a better strategy, period.

Both companies have billions and are spending billions on mobile. Google has an advantage in having a huge, established user base. Microsoft has an advantage in intellectual property. Which is the better move, Microsoft's spending billions to fund Nokia, developers and Windows Phone marketing, or Google spending billions to acquire Motorola and move into hardware?

I'll say this, Microsoft's strategy outsources a lot of risk onto Nokia, Google's incurs a lot of risk on itself.

Actually, I'm leaving something out. Microsoft is trying to leverage its desktop dominance into tablets, and it's taking a pretty big risk to do it. Windows 8 is the most radical departure in the history of the desktop GUI, and it risks pissing off a lot of desktop users if MS doesn't get it right.

I've found basically the same forecasts all over the Internet, goog is going to grow at twice the rate of msft...

Here is what the analysts at CNN Money have to say:

Msft

Earnings growth (last year) 28.1%

Earnings growth (this year) -0.05%

Earnings growth (next 5 years) 9.30%

Revenue growth (last year) 11.94%

Google

Earnings growth (last year) 38.48%

Earnings growth (this year) 17.38%

Earnings growth (next 5 years) 17.65%

Revenue growth (last year) 29.13%

If logic is important to you then realize that a lot of people are expecting google to grow faster than msft, and given that this pattern will remain applicable, will eventually surpass msft.
