Google is notorious for waiting around while everyone else is proclaiming its fall, then standing up and kicking its rivals where it hurts most. Can’t think of any cases like that? Well, remember when Microsoft was investing in Facebook?

It seems that lately Microsoft has been trying to (unsuccessfully) adopt some of Apple’s marketing strategies. First, they have launched “Ten Grand is Buried Here” campaign in Australia. Then they’ve tried to convince us, “alternative” browser users, that IE8 is the best you can get, by throwing together some bogus comparison chart.
