Microsoft Ups Online War, Says Google's 'Failing' 220
CWmike writes "Raising the stakes in its war of words, Microsoft said on Tuesday that Google simply doesn't understand what businesses need, and is failing at pushing its way into the enterprise. In this edited version of his interview with Computerworld, Microsoft's senior director of Online Services, Tom Rizzo, talks about Google's privacy issues, scanning user data, the difference between consumer and corporate needs, and his doubts about Google surviving in the enterprise space. He also said he thinks Google will be shocked to see Microsoft's momentum into the enterprise cloud sector."

They most certainly have more servers deployed than anybody, thanks to poor scaling and higher need for reboots.

Isn't MS saying to Google what they've been saying to Apple, namely that they are going to fail because they aren't copying what Microsoft is doing? Unless they do business and make products the way Microsoft does, they have no chance.
Of course, both Apple and Google naturally go: Huh?
