That's pretty cool. However I find it ironic that Microsoft sponsored the video. Okay, I just took a look at the video at CNET:

I don't care which company comes out ahead, as long as it benefits me in the end. I like Microsoft because they are really user friendly, although most of their applications are not feature-rich. Plus, since I work in technology, they send me free stuff (so far I've received Office, XP Pro, MapPoint, Works Suite, and Digital Image Suite=altogether about $1200). Google has a lot of free-for-everyone apps, and that's always cool. Google Earth is hands down my favorite free app, because I forgot how much Keyhole was selling it for, but it was a depressingly high amount for a product I really wanted. Although I have to say that I am really uninterested in any Google office products, since OpenOffice (www.openoffice.org) has been available for a long time now, always free, no ads, completely customizable. So like I said, I don't really care if Google amasses a giant force of open-source cyborgs and battles against Microsoft's army of warrior lawyers, as long as I can get software for cheap in the aftermath. Now there would be a cool photoshop image... I should win. I don’t care which company comes out ahead, as long as it benefits me in the end.
