I agree to a certain point but Google is in a similar position to Microsoft.

Microsoft are very good at analyzing a competitor's product, cloning it and then either offering it free or including it as a "feature" in a product.

Netscape navigator, stacker, Wordperfect and Lotus 123 comes to mind. All excellent products but eventually died-off to the inferior (at the time) Microsoft version.

Google also offer most of there products free which means any competitor that charges for a service is at an immediate disadvantage.

How do you compete against free?
