Google's New 'App Engine': Why Microsoft Should be Shaking in Its Boots

I do agree that MSFT has reason to worry- MSN is ranked a distant third when in comes to online searches. MSFT's online services business only contributes 5% of total revenues and has only recently started turning a profit. Considering MSFT basically has monopolies in the Server and tools business, and command significant market share in other categories, the Online svcs present the greatest opportunity for growth. MSFT could narrow the gap, and eliminate another potent competitor by acquiring Yahoo, but cannot afford to lose ground to Google. I'm not sure Google's initiatives will yield any positive results, but at least they seem to be working on it. MSFT has reason to worry, because without a major turnaround of their online unit, they may have to pull down the curtain and concentrate on their other sectors. Their entertainment sector is not entirely profitable either. Check out www.microsoft.com/msft...
