In Gates: Microsoft trails Google, but is ‘patient’, MarketWatch writer John Shinal quotes Bill Gates on Google:
They’re still very much the leader…It’s a five-year battle.
Gates did manage to get one dig in, noting, “Google has done less innovation than I would have expected a year ago.”
The article reports that Microsoft will spend $2 billion more than expected between July, 2006 and June, 2007 on search and other web technologies. In the most recent period for which there is data, Google expanded its share of the search market to just under 50%, while Microsoft slipped from 14% to 11%.
