"What Google wants to do is strategically decrease people's reliance on
Microsoft. It's as simple as that," says Wharton management professor
Raphael Amit.

Thomas Y. Lee, professor of operations and information management, sees
Google's challenge to Microsoft in broader terms. "I don't know that I
would say Google is a threat to the operating system, per se, but it is a
threat to Microsoft's business model. Microsoft has software [such as
Office] that they use to leverage the operating system."

Balaji Padmanabhan, professor of operations and information management
at Wharton, agrees with Whitehouse that "there is a move toward PCs
that don't have a lot of software installed on them, where most
applications can run off a network." Padmanabhan notes that Sun
Microsystems and Oracle developed such a system, in which people using
nothing more than a simple PC would wirelessly communicate with a
central computer.

Legal studies professor Kevin Werbach asserts that the competitive issues
facing Microsoft go beyond Google. "At some level, any successful Internet
and software company is a threat to Microsoft," he says. "Microsoft is in a
uniquely dominant position in the computing ecosystem. Anything that
attracts a significant amount of use or activity is potentially a threat to
them. Microsoft is a threat to, in some ways, virtually everyone in the
industry and likewise everyone is a threat to Microsoft."
