    I guess lots of investors expect Google to grow into the next MS. I don't think they're far off with that assumption...

      It won't always be that high. Only a few companies have held that spot and most for not very long. I can think of MS, Cisco and GE. I'm not sure who else.

        Depends on if their long-term strategy works or not. They've been buying up a lot of infrastructure companies for the last year or so, including 'net over power lines etc. They also expect to provide a Windows-less operating environment for basic systems. Microsoft is not pleased.

          Yeah they have done well, they have actually managed to transition from a pure dot com to a company with actual tangible resources's, a couple years ago they could have evaporated if someone made a better search engine.

              Let's see. They've been buying dark fibre. They've come up with a datacenter that fits on the back of a truck and can be deployed anywhere. They've bought 5% of AOL. If this ads up right, they're geniuses.
