Google's direct challenge to Microsoft's monopoly must be staged this drama.Microsoft will be how to deal with, it will cause concern for all circles.
Period in the previous column, I just predicted that, Google will no doubt become one of the 2006 popular keywords, for less than a week, this forecast can be said to have had an ironclad will deliver the amazing beginning.
There are three things about the recent hot topic of the industry, which is about three things are related to Google.Although at the end of the first things completed, but its impact will gradually emerged this year, which is 10 billion dollars Google bought 5% stake in AOL Internet unit, the issue.Although AOL had as before, but its business is still based on the user base is still completely return to the Internet again, AOL is likely to have sprung up everywhere, particularly in its cooperation and support with Google time.
The second thing is well-known U.S. investment bank Piper Jaffray on Google overestimate future stock prices amazing.In their view, to the end of 2006, Google's share price may rise to 600 dollars!If you really 到了那一天, Google's market value will exceed all of the IT giants, but these giant aircraft carrier Enterprise with Wal-Mart par.His remark, of course, the arguments have caused a lot of people worried about is, Google search and advertising revenue alone can afford to support such a high price.
On this point, some of my previous articles have been discussed (see, "Who is the king of the Internet age", "Microsoft, Google competitive upgrade" so the text), my point is, Google's aggregation and classification of informationprocessing platform which occupies the core of the Internet age strategic location, this platform is not already covered by a simple search engine can.With the transformation of information and communication media, the endless flow of information will be derived from very many, the unexpected new type of business, commercial search engines such as Google's Froogle is a good example.If you add in Google Earth into a new business idea, for example, countless places around the world three-dimensional positioning of enterprise search services and related additional services, it is conceivable, alone it is possible to generate huge profits.
Therefore, Google's share price is not will continue higher, it should be no doubt, but in the end how much can go is a problem.This is guaranteed to observe the trend of Google and its stock price, will become the industry a lot of people must always be a hot topic.
The third thing I think is important, and that is has been rumored Google operating system may be really the case.To date I write this, there are many reports, Google co-founder Larry Page and Product Director in the United States to be held in the last CES keynote speech, in this speech, he will be a disclosure with Googlevery low-cost operating system network PC, alleged price was only 200 dollars.Although the matter be finalized until this week, see the outcome, but whether this is implemented, Google operating system not based on hearsay evidence of the incident appears to have said.
So, Google a direct challenge to Microsoft's monopoly in the inevitable drama staged this year.Microsoft will be how to deal with, it will be of great concern to all circles.
