Microsoft Tells Google To Keep Off Corporate Search
Microsoft Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner did not pull any punches when discussing Google’s entry into the corporate search & enterprise space in Boston this week.
“Those people are not going to be allowed to take food off our plate, because that is what they are intending to do…. Enterprise search is our business, it’s our house and Google is not going to take that business.”
No mention in the article if the 7,000 Microsoft delegates at the company conference began letting the dawgs out with “whoof whoof” chants, doing the Ray Lewis dance and head butting each other after Turner declared “it’s our house!”
More from Forbes:
Microsoft and Google have been encroaching on each other’s territories in the last several years with Microsoft ramping up its efforts in its online search unit MSN, and Google wading into online business tools like Google Spreadsheets and Google Calendar, a palpable threat to Microsoft Office.
