Bill Gates’ Microsoft in "Battle" with Google
ABC’s Peter Jennings tonight interviewed Microsoft founder, Bill Gates. Mr. Gates offers his thoughts on a number of topics, including the challenges it faces trying to compete with Google.
Smiling, Gates tells Jennings that companies like Google and Apple keep MS on their toes. He says they’re "fantastic" competitors.
"Well, I have a meeting today with our people doing search. And that’s an area where Google has got out in front, does a very good job. We’re sort of the David vs. Goliath in that (chuckles) particular battle so we’ll have fun talking to them about their progress."
"I think we’re actually one of the few companies that can say with credibility that we’ll give Google some competition. And that’s great for everyone."
