Google brings stiff competition to Microsoft and Apple

The technology world is one circling motion of competition. One moment a company is innovative and standing in its own market, the next several businesses are stepping on each others toes for further ground.

Last week Google announce it is to launch its own OS on its own hardware, then Microsoft it is to launch Office 2010 that in turn will compete with Google Docs.

Google has already attempted to move into Microsoft's arena by offering Web docs, Email, chat - with the move to offer an OS it also begins to move into the arena that Apple and Microsoft share. Similarly, Microsoft launch Bing to cover there arses in the Search space.

Whatever happens the business and consumer user will have more variety and options available - just depending on how much they want to spend or how high quality they need the programmes to meet their needs.

One definite similarity between the three is their need to cover the web browser space - its your choice; Internet Explorer, Safari or Chrome?
