What I am driving at is if Microsoft cannot achieve the dizzy heights of Google in market percentage in the search engine world is there ANY chance of another company ever taking on Google and bettering the technology or is this now it.
I would like to take a peek 15 years into the future because the CEO of Microsoft seems to be no push over and I am interested as to weather we will all be using Google Desktop / Google Servers / Google Workstations / Google Office OR will Microsoft come out of its slumber, shack off its reputation for stitching people up at every pound they can take from our sweaty palms and put up a decent fight?
What say you, is this it or is there a chance for change?
As always we look forward to your posts.

Unless something innovative that blows people away, IE audio, video search perhaps? Hard to imagine it now, but I'm sure it'll be the future because just look at how lazy we already are?
30 secs of waiting and I'm already bummed, lol....
It's the internet, anything can change. About Microsoft, those guys have been confused for a very long time. Just look at Vista, if they don't get their act together their fall is coming fairly shortly.
