Microsoft flirts with Google
31 October 2003
Reports have emerged that software giant Microsoft may be looking to make claims on search powerhouse Google.
Rumours hint that a partnership or takeover could be on the cards, following recent announcements that Google is to finally launch itself as a public company.
As search becomes an increasingly attractive service sector for Internet operators, Microsoft has been expected to pilot a new service to rival established competitors.
Once Google floats, Microsoft could be attracted to make a decision on investment.
It has been reported that Google is actively seeking bankers to help it sell shares of the company to the public in what is likely to be the biggest tech IPO in years.
