Does Google's lack of innovation mean it will become the next Microsoft?

Google is fine...

Mobile phones are useless. Men don't need them, women do.

Google has expressed interest in getting into the network business. ****, maybe they'll do what all the other greedy, capitalistic fucks can't and provide some decent internet speeds to American.

Google is all about innovation. Haters gonna hate.

In other words, there is no other big fish to fry.

But I do agree that Google is fine and just needs to keep an eye on their sectors for failures and limit some risk.

We keep hearing how MS does not innovate, well what about Apple?? Where is Apple being innovative? The iPod? Sorry MP3 players existed long before the iPod. Apple may have made them popular but they sure as hell did not innovate them. The iPhone? Sorry smart phones existed long before iPhone. iPad? I don't think so! The last time Apple was innovative was when they helped to create the Window and even that was a refinement of an idea from SRI and Xerox.

And when the hell has Google ever been innovative? Did they create the search engine? Nope...did they create the browser? Nope....did the create the OS? Nope...So just what did they do that was so innovative?

I would hardly call that innovation. Live was/is/will be simply an adaptation of something that has been done for years upon years on PC. Kinect is a natural progression of controllers; well I guess it depends on each one's definition of innovation. As far as I see it, there's been no true innovation for years on the hardware side of things, yet other people consider putting 512mb of ram vs 32mb innovative.

I agree with CharmedonWB, Google has never been innovative, they have simply tried to do things better than others.

Google is becoming more like MS in another way though, the "We will take over the world, by having a hand in every single industry" kind of way.... and I can't say I like it anymore than I like MS trying to be there/control my life at every turn.

Its still impressive how Google got the market power in such short time. They are a "newbie" company compared to other big companies.

Sorry but I don't see any other company expanding as much as Google.

I think some here are getting invention and innovation confused as Google is a company built on innovation so its the one thing they have to keep working on. They innovated the search engine to what it is now and are doing the same in many fields. It more likely if they spread to far too quick and forget what makes them Google that I think they will fall into the traps that Microsoft has.

Google has to stay a software company and let others make the hardware like they are doing with Android as it is. Microsoft have had recent failures with a phone and the zune that they did not seem to have the will to push when the software could have been enough for them to offer to hardware manufacturers.
