OK, not so amazingly in-depth, but a good read. My favorite bit (paraphrasing): Microsoft and Google pass each other's "silver bullet test:" if you had one bullet, whom would you shoot. But the main point of the article is that while this showdown is very serious, the long-term winner of MS vs Google could well be some little company you haven't heard of yet. While Microsoft can't seem to get anything right lately, I wouldn't count them out. OTOH, if I were Gates, I'd find something else for Ballmer to do.
