Google formally declares war on Microsoft


Recommended Posts

Mmm I stoped using Microsoft office sometime last year. II reinstalled XP and I had to get a report done and I could not find my Disk 2CD so I started using OpenOffice been using it since...It has a few things I don't like but all in all it is good :yes:

This whole google war sounds just silly, more fuel for the sad people who will follow google to the end of the earth

My thoughts exactly. Although I don't dislike google and I think competition is good...

Anyway, the title of this thread is probably Inquirer's fault, not google!

Google is just a load of rebranded PR BS anymore...

oh wow they took an existing app that was alreay FREE and put their logo all over it *rolls eyes* issues a press release and the press flocks all over it because of the name Google... when in reality there is nothing new at all besides it being rebranded

when google bought keyhole i liked that because they offer free service now on the basic version of it, so keyhole and google's search are great... this other stuff they are trying to pull now is PR stunts to rack up stock prices and get themselves richer then heck..

yes go google  :rolleyes: why don't we write our own software for once and compete instead of just making alliances to rebrand others...

But don't Microsoft just buy companies and integrate their technology a lot as well? Its competition so its a good thing I say.

Microsoft does a lot more then just rebranding though, they actually take on development and create new programs, and spend a lot of time optimizing programs they purchased from others... Google seems to put the minimalist effort into their aliance programs and just splash their logo all over it and throw it to the press where the press makes a huge deal out of nothing, MS buys a company the press doesn't do anything and their stock doesnt even move.. Google does something stock jumps, people at google get richer and the press throws it all over the news like its a revolution

I don't hate google, but hate SUN and any product from Sun, JAVA?!

I don't like Sun too :p And their stupid java.

There's still nothing to woory about, Microsoft Office is 1000% better than any other "office" suite

In Google we trust, lol. They're really going to be one of the biggest software monopolies when they're done won't they? Theres predictions they'll make their own OS too maybe it'll be a Linux shell lol, hell maybe they'll buy Linspire and call it theirs hehe.

I don't hate google, but hate SUN and any product from Sun, JAVA?! worst programming lanuage ever, waste my time when I had to use for assignment during the school time.

hah, you obviously don't know what you're talking about

Next up- Google OS  :ninja:

That would rock so much.

Why would that rock? It would most likely just be anothre Linux distro with windows styled after Google's sidebar. I don't see Google writing their own OS from the ground up.

These days, I trust Google way less than I trust Microsoft. :yes:

I like Google, but don't necessarily trust them.

It is nice, however, for people to have a choice in who they trust or not. Better than a Microsoft monopoly. ;)

i'l always prefer microsoft over google, google talk is pretty rubbish and if they are planning on making their new apps with the same GUI i dont think i'll bother, microsoft's office 12 looks amazing and i dont think google could top that, especially as a free product... soon u'll be able to install windows and have ms office built in as part of the package, inside the windows folder /windows/office/ google make excellent web products, their email is truly amazing and so is the search, a browser from google would be great with all those features built right in but office products...nahh!!!!!

    • To be fair, it wasn't going anywhere. Even when Windows Phone could run Android APKs, Google didn't want any of it so it'd never work and the same thing happened with Windows. It was never about the store or it's users, it was always the developers and who they aligned to.
    • Wake me up when this comes to PC. Until then... zzzzzzzz....
    • I was expecting the end of the world to happen before this game or elder scroll 6 to come out.
    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.
    • I'm aware. That information should have been included in the article, making it more complete and information.
