Yahoo News: Microsoft Says [sic] to Take Aim at Google

"We do view Google more and more as a competitor. We believe that we can provide consumers with a better product and a better user experience. That's something that we're actively looking at doing," Bob Visse, director of marketing for Microsoft's MSN Internet services division, said.

Hmm…is the giant going to try and move in on Google? Why not. They move in on everybody else. Whether they succeed or fail is an entirely different story.
