Review: I think this time Google won't do badly, but Microsoft won't give up, either.

Review: Google is far overestimated. I like Google for its search engine, which I think is the best invention since the Internet itself. However, there is a lot of hot air around Google beating Microsoft. It is ridiculous to imagine that a Gmail or a Gcalendar or a gdesktop will beat Microsoft. Replacing the desktop is the only way that Microsoft could be challenged--but that's still an idea. And even if something like that halts Microsoft it would not bring moolah to Google anyways. So the dream that Google will beat Microsoft is just that a dream. Google should be more worried about Microsoft coming up with a half decent search and giving a buck for every search done on MSN. It's easier to make a search engine with Microsoft resources than making an OS with Google experience.

Review: It's like opening the zip to allow others to find the last button of your shirt. I'll never allow anyone to do it with me. Will you?

Review: There's just too much hype around Google now, it'll soon pass. Google is no different from any other company that has found new success!

Review: Maybe we will see soon a Windows clone! There is a free Windows clone called Reactos that Google could pack and sell. For sure it would hurt Microsoft more than Linux or Web services.

Review: Get real. Goggle is nothing more than an overpriced advertising firm. Keep them and their ads off my desktop!

Review: I think I'm goin to agree with DarkNoir not just because my nickname and his nickname have one same word, but because Google wants to know everything about everyone. There is no privacy. I hate the fact that all my files, e-mails, etc. are scanned just so that under the illusion of an invaluable service, they make loads of money!

Review: Google's latest advances fall into what I call "the blue spotlight fallacy." The Google senior team (Brin, Page, Schmidt, Mayer) appear to presume that Google is all that people do on their personal computers, as if Google were under a little blue spotlight online. That's not true. Also, Google is thinking just one way about how people use online information. Cryptic, for my own reasons, but very true.

Review: We need a Google operating system. Then we can dump Microsoft forever! Google is awesome, Microsoft is predatory and greedy. Go Google!
