Ever since Microsoft was founded almost 30 years ago, the company has taken on practically every other competitor on a headon collision course and barely lost a fight. This article on fortune.com has a neat description on how he's done in those wars and in his current mission against Google.
Also read fortune.com's article on Gates vs Google.
And for some wierd reason I feel like ranting about this !!! But would I dare to take Microsoft on HeadOn ??
hey !!! some risks in life are worth the trouble. This would not be the first time I had a 1-ON-1 and lost 
. One of the reason's i'm sticking around this blogosphere even though I have been bruised, battered, branded and made to bleed by the ("Blogosphere Mafia :: "U" Know who I'm Talking About") is to see what happens next.
So. Blogosphere..... I'm Back... and this time no nicknames or aliases...
For your information, The left hand menubar on your blog displays a "BlogMap" courtesy of Chandu Thota, the one who developed feedmap.net. He used Microsoft MapPoint to power and fire it up !!
So, Now having said that, do we expect to see you edit your menubar to NOT DISPLAY BlogMap just because Microsoft POWERS It ??

Just because Microsoft powers BlogMap in some form or factor, I aint gonna remove it from my menubar. Why should I ? doesnt the CEO of SONY have a Bang & Olufsen system in his living room?? Doesnt Bill Gates buy NON-MICROSOFT products?
