Could be, but I don't believe in Google's ability to create a category-defining consumer product. They're an enterprise company that thinks they're a consumer company, there's a lack of understanding humans in everything they do, and they never put enough wood behind each arrow.



They’re not even enterprise! They’re an advertising company that believes they are changing the world. They are right, just not for the reasons they tell themselves.

Microsoft was an operating system and word processor vendor who wanted to be many other things. The only other thing that ever turned a clear profit in a decade was their hardware division, which I gotta say was well deserved. But all of their money came from tech, and selling that tech. Google isn’t even that.
