Google speaks highly of competition…

…when they are asked whether they are concerned regulators could force their break-up because of their huge market share in search engines. (Source: Newswire)
Well, if you phrase it that way, than the market is certainly very competitive according to Patrick Pichette, Google’s CFO, where ‘Microsoft is a formidable competitor. They're really smart’.
He also compared the current search engine market to a race on the treadmill for innovation, where if you ever slow down, there is a catch-up that would take no time at all.
Of course there is no stopping either Google or Bing, when it comes to innovation, and everyone likes the underdog. Even if that’s Microsoft.
(disclosure: I’m currently employed by the latter and loving it.)
