Google to acquire Microsoft?!?

First, Yahoo! bought Flickr.
Then, Microsoft bought Yahoo!.
Now, Google may make the biggest buy-out response in the history of the informational & technological world. Rumour has it, Google may have plans to buy out Microsoft buy (excuse the pun) the end of the next quarter. This will be the next, and by far the biggest, phase in Google's attempt of world domination. This buy-out would follow Bill Gates' retirement rather nicely for tech history (and conveniently, for Google's sake). Word on the web is that Google attempted to acquire Microsoft last year, for an undisclosed sum, but old Billy-boy refused. They sure are some smart cookies at Google - kicking the company while it's down.


Here's some background info on Google's recent spending spree...
2001, Google buys Pyra Labs, creators of Blogger
Early 2006, Upstartle, creator of Writely, is purchased by Google
Late 2006, Google acquires YouTube

The result of a buy-out would be positive for consumers. Google, in the past has made services acquired through the buying out of other companies - Blogger, Google Docs & Spreadsheets, Google Earth - free for its followers users. Could this mean the next Windows operating system will be free for all??

Word, although unconfirmed as yet, also says that Steve Jobs is mighty jealous and angry about the news. A buy-out like this would make him think twice about retiring, something that, we suspect, has been under Apple's works for months (probably in the same manner as a product release, given his egomaniacal persona), ever since his long-time rival Bill Gates announced his retirement. He is an attention seeker after all, so watch his face...

Although both parties, Microsoft and Google, have not confirmed the likelihood of the buy-out, it may happen as early as September. You heard it here first on Gossip Girl.
We'll keep you updated on this one,
