Need somebody to explain the growing war between Microsoft and Google?

Don't look at me - except during the 5:30, 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. business segments on NECN tonight - where you can catch me babbling about how hard it will be for Google to defeat Microsoft, along with Sharon Machlis of Computerworld (who apparently doesn't share my feelings; could she be the nemesis I've long sought? Nah, she's too nice).
