Microsoft vs. the Cloud
Microsoft will dominate in mission critical business applications.
MSFT is a joke in search.
GoogleApps will never have more than 2-3% of Office users migrate to them.
Google: I See a Bargain Here
______________________...
None of your analogies here are valid. Cisco has a wide range of products that generate 3-4-5-6-7% of overall business. So does Intel and CAT has a very wide range of heavy equipment that generates decent percentages of business.
NONE of Google's non search businesses ALL ADDED TOGETHER generate more than 1% of Google revenue OR profits.
NONE!

Google Layoffs: How to Reverse a 55% Stock Decline
Google is not run very effeciently. Just look how many interviews a prospective applicant goes through before a job offer.
The Google average is 8 interviews.
Laughable!
Buy, Sell or Hold: Google Still Leaves Competitors in the Dust
Google is a one trick pony and their stock price correctly establishes their corporate value for paid search.
Unless and until Google can produce real revenue and profits from their non-search products, investors will continue to see this stock price make a valiant attempt at $150 per share!
Why Is the YouTube User Experience So Poor?
Can you honestly call Chrome a success? A service available since a few weeks ago cannot be called a success.
Why Is the YouTube User Experience So Poor?
Hell, name a Google service or product that is successful--Other than Search? Zero.
Do Web Versions of Office Applications Hurt Microsoft or Google More?
The Google team told us that they are having substantial issues flipping users from the FREE version of GoogleApps to the PAID version. Once someone gets something for FREE, why should they pay for a small incremental change?
GoogleApps itself is a BETA product that is at least 18 months away from thinking about posing a threat to MSFT office. GoogleApps has a weak word processor, an even weaker spreadsheet and the colaboration tools are a work-in-progress.
It was very obvious that the entire GoogleApps team have never shipped a real live product to business users...ever!
The presentations were mixed and contradictory. The information given was weak and and the presentors even weaker.
Google shareholders should be happy that their fortunes are NOT tied to the GoogleApps group.
Search is still Google's only revenue and profit spigot.
GoogleApps won't contribute much to Google's revenue and profit picture...ever!

I believe an Obama DOJ will somehow find a way to investigate Google for potential monopoly practices.
Running the Numbers: Google Looks Like a Buy
Perhaps, over time the revenue and profit stream from other divisions of Google can increase their contribution.
But for today Google is nothing but the worlds largest advertising agency.
Google Isn't Evil - Just Shortsighted
Google’s Second Decade
Exactly what large businesses don't want in a reliable business relationship.
Google: Chrome, Android and The Cloud
I hope to be proven wrong, but the reality of today is that Google loves to make splashes, but businesses need to make profits, too!
Search profits will not last forever.
