The spikes between these two technological giants do not stop. Microsoft has been trying to attract the attention of users of Android based on criticizing the bad practices of Google, and the vulnerability of the system to malware. The Mountain Viewers had ignored all the propaganda against them until a couple of days ago, when the company's head of search delivered a clear and direct message to the Redmond.
Amit Singhal Head of Search Google has stated that Microsoft You should focus on making better products and stop attacking your company. This message was launched during some international conferences (SXSW) that took place on March 10, as reported ePrivacy. The battle of both technology firms to attract users seems to be going for a long time. While in Microsoft They are much more direct and aggressive, those of Mountain View try to ignore and make the void to their competitor, even denying them several of their services.
The biggest attacks by Redmond so far have come from a campaign that offered to followers of the Redmond account. Windows Phone a phone if they could tell some terrible story about malware en Android. In addition, as we already told you a few weeks ago, also Microsoft launched a couple of ads (under the slogan of Scroogled) where the privacy of Outlook against gmail, and began a collection of signatures to ask Google to stop spying on its users, all pretty strong.
Finally in Google have given some sign of having knowledge of the existence of Microsoft, and they have done it bluntly: asking them to please stop criticizing and focus on making better products, a direct statement and something more elegant, although no less destructive than their rival's campaigns, and that is Microsoft is having serious trouble finding a foothold in the tablet industry. Surface has not had the desired success as consumers unquestioningly go for the devices of Google as soon as these appear on the market.
The problem with Microsoft products is that they released an operating system for tablets that is not worth betting on, Windows 8 RT is too expensive for what it offers. On the contrary, Windows 8 PRO for tablets is a marvel, it is the only fully functional operating system and, both for graphic designers and music producers, it is the best option on the market. It is the system that Microsoft should have launched from the beginning eliminating RT from the market.
Of course, if I had the money for it, any of the tablets on the market with Windows 8 Pro would be the first option that I would consider since both IOS and Android are still toys for social networks, games and little else. ..
