Wow……It can’t get better than this! Now we have two IT titans pitted directly against each other…One which till a few years ago was arguably the undisputed powerhouse of the Software world, and the other, which according to most has dethroned the former and is on course to become the best ever. The two Cos. in question are Microsoft Inc. and Google. Google with its never-even-dreamt-of kinda stuffs like Google Maps and Personalised Homepage (visit Google Labs for more) has become synonymous with cutting-edge technology, and now MS has developed its very own version of Google IG — Start (Preview), quite impressive i must say. Slashdot says, as is evident from a first hand preview – “It looks like Microsoft has quietly put up their version of Google’s start page. It’s interesting in several ways. First, the layout and use of javascript is strikingly similar to Google’s. Second, one of the few major differences is that there is no MS equivalent banner or other flashing indication that it is an MS site.”
