This MSFT-Google Business is Getting Out of Hand

The C|Net headline says: Ballmer calls Google's growth plans 'insane.'

And Business Week columnist Steven Wildstrom decided to test local search capabilities for the DC area by entering the term "sex toys." When run on Google, it "offered Microsoft's Washington corporate affairs office as the sixth item on its list."

Where will all this end?

If enough folks show up at their door, I wonder if Microsoft Corproate Affairs will at least hand out some complimentary copies of Vista and Office 2007.

hmmm...if Microsoft is branching out into sex toys, they should perhaps consider changing their name...
