Google and Sun beat at the gates of Microsoft's PC empire [October 06, 2005]
GOOGLE, the internet search king, has teamed with veteran Microsoft-hater Sun Microsystems to wrest control of the personal computer from Bill Gates's software colossus.
The possibility of OpenOffice capabilities on the Google Toolbar has observers predicting the end of the software world as we know it.
"They could turn the desktop software market on its head," said IT analyst Bruce McCabe from S2 Intelligence. "It's great for consumers, it could drive price changes at Microsoft," he said.
