Question

Microsoft COO Paints Google as Evil Empire
Jul. 14th, 2010 by The VAR Guy

Microsoft COO Kevin Turner this morning took aggressive shots at Apple, Oracle, Linux, VMware and Google — even painting Google as a Big Brother-type company that tries to say they’re not evil in their mission statement. During a keynote at Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2010 (WPC10), Turner described how Microsoft’s mobile, desktop and cloud strategy will allow the software giant to beat back top competitors. Turner also described market share gains against Apple, VMware and Google. Here’s a recap.
Turner attempted to provide a reality check on multiple competitive fronts. Among the highlights:
On the Cloud: “Get in and let’s figure this out together,” Turner told partners. “Do we have this completely figured out? No. Are we in better shape than a year ago? Absolutely.”
On Google Apps: “Don’t let customers get Googled,” said Turner. “They’re coming after us. Guns a blazing. They’ve won customers.” But Turner listed multiple customers that have tried Google Docs, Google Apps and Google Spreadsheets, and come back to Microsoft. “We don’t want some of them, we want all the customers to experience the best of breed applications” from Microsoft.
He noted the State of Kentucky has embraced Microsoft’s cloud for 700,000 seats. “We’re winning in education. And we’re staying after it. It will be a test of will. And we need your help.”
On Bing vs. Google Search: “We don’t read your email and invade your privacy,” said Turner. “We’re not snooping your WiFi. That’s not what we’re about. We don’t have a mission statement that reminds us not to do evil.”
Strong words. And ironic words. Some folks have called Microsoft the Evil Empire over the years. And well-known blogger Mary Jo Foley used to pen a Microsoft-focused column titled At the Evil Empire.
On Apple Notebooks: Thanks to Windows 7, Microsoft’s laptop share has risen to 92.8 percent vs. 7.2 percent for Apple, Turner claimed.
