now being only 18 I don't remember the cold war but I do understand what it is. and what Google and Microsoft are doing is definitely a new cold war. it started with a simple $335,000 in unpaid advertising bills. Google sent a two sentence complaint, thinking this was just routine, but what they reserved was nothing of the sort. a 24-page antitrust lawsuit against Google, accusing the search-engine giant of a litany of monopolistic abuses. a little research on Google's part showed that Charles "Rick" Rule, long the chief outside counsel on competition issues for Microsoft. turned out old Microsoft, who is not at all new to anti-trust lawsuits(we all remember the late 90's anti-lawsuits by Netscape against the software giant). turned out this wasn't the first small company Microsoft had funded to sue Google for anti-trust. all over Europe lawsuit have been popping up from Microsoft backed company. its the begging of a proxy war on Microsoft if I ever saw one. Google's comment on it was that as they get bigger this is bound to happen. aka big your best Microsoft, because most definitely isn't scared.
