The 2010's will be a very interesting decade in the battle for supremacy in the digital age. Microsoft has surely been King for a while, but Google is hot on their heals. If I had to guess, I would be on Google to win the war.
After spending the last few weeks navigating the Google universe by setting up a website on Google Sites, with comments supported by Google Documents, and a blog by Blogger, I spent the weekend in Microsoft world.
I spent Saturday backing up my computer and preparing for an upgrade from Vista (yuck) to Windows 7 (meh). Then, since Microsoft decided not to make Money anymore, I spent most of Sunday switching all of my personal finance stuff to Quicken. I also have a phone that runs Windows mobile, but I've been thinking about getting a phone that runs Android because it has better apps. I'm also trying out Chrome to see if it works better than Internet Explorer.
I think by 2020, Microsoft will be a much smaller company, a shadow of its former self. Google seems to have a much more long term and ambitious approach to their business. They will be the Oprah of the decade.
