Search Trends - Search Engine Marketing

I just read a Bill Gates interview on CNet where he talks some serious trash about Google. The Google-related questions are just a few of the first ones of a three-page interview, but it's interesting to hear Gates say things like, "Our search API is way better than their search API. Clearly, they are working in that area." and, "They haven't done as much on the server piece. They had a Google server, but it was very bad at corporate search. That did not work well at all." -- you've got to love that. I'm not a developer, so I can't really say one way or the other, but I can just imagine the blood vessels popping out on Bill's head as he's asked about Google for the umpteenth time. Then he grits his teeth and calmly says, "Who, oh, Google, yeah, we're not worried about them, our stuff is WAY better."

I'm sure Bill Gates has had more than a few nightmares about Google kicking him off his spot at the top of the computing world, but I love how he doesn't let anyone see him sweat. He just keeps "on message" and goes on with his mantra. That attitude is what got Gates and Microsoft to where they are. They're fighters, and you have to admire that.
