Microsoft is paying top dollar to compete in this space. Despite this, they are losing ground to Google.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -

Google is doing fantastically well, but to say Google is slapping MS around in the market only applies to internet ads. And to be honest, I've no idea why MS wants in on that ****.
Then again, I hold nothing but contempt for people in the ad business. I fastforward through ads on TV, I block them on the net...

I can understand why Microsoft would want in on it, but paying 36x free cash flow on a business that's growing 8% per annum... Wow.
