http://www.contracostatimes.com/mld/cctimes/8436558.htm Google may challenge Microsoft By Chris Gaither LOS ANGELES TIMES Is Google Inc. quietly arming itself to challenge Microsoft Corp.'s Windows software by developing an operating system that lives on the Internet? The closely held search-engine company has been clear all along about its goal of organizing the world's information. But followers of the Mountain View upstart have been seeing that lofty mission statement in a new light since the company unveiled plans this month for a free e-mail service with enough storage space to save nearly 500,000 pages of messages. The Gmail service, combined with Google's enormous cluster of computers that use Linux, a free operating system, to process hundreds of millions of search queries each day, has some technologists panting over what the ambitious company may do next. "Who needs Windows when anyone can have free unlimited access to the world's fastest computer running the smartest operating system?" Jason Kettle, a New York City Web designer, wrote in his influential Web log at Kottke.org. Google executives declined to comment on their plans. "We don't speculate about what we may or may not be thinking about in terms of projects," said Craig Silverstein, the company's director of technology. By all accounts, Google isn't openly gunning for Microsoft. Netscape Communications Corp., whose Web browser threatened Windows, made that mistake in the late 1990s and got smothered by Microsoft tactics that a federal judge later found violated antitrust laws. Google, however, has been quietly building one of the world's largest supercomputers, reportedly made of more than 100,000 servers tied together by Linux. The computing system is becoming a powerful platform that could be put to a variety of uses beyond powering the most popular search engine on the Web. "I wouldn't underestimate the audacity of any of the goals the Google guys have," said Rich Skrenta, chief executive of a search engine for news called Topix.net. "They're big thinkers." Google has already expanded its offerings to include news aggregation, comparison shopping, software for publishing Web logs, a social networking service called Orkut, and now Gmail. It is also unveiling a new program today giving online merchants and other Web sites more options for tailoring their advertisements to local audiences. Many believe Googol's next step will be to use its unmatched processing and storage capacity to invite people to house things on Googol's network that they normally keep on their computer desktops, such as documents, digital photos, spreadsheets and songs. All those files would be accessible from any Internet-connected device and easily searchable using the technology that made Google famous. |

As Kottke points out at http://www.kottke.org/04/04/google-operating-system
Google knows what people write about, what they search for, what they shop for, they know who wants to advertise and how effective those advertisements are, and they're about to know how we communicate with friends and loved ones. What can they do with all that? Just about anything that collection of Ph.Ds can dream up. That's pause for thought!

MSN search engine uses natural language processing and understanding, while all other search engines use algorithm. The implication for SEO is that keyword popularity and link popularity don't work well with search engines using natural language understanding.
