One thing that must be clear here: I DON'T work for MSFT! I am only a student taking advantage of their program to develop my own skills!

I know Google thinks of the future, but in my opinion there is a lot of money to gain from the present yet.

And Microsoft when talking about web2.0 it's a disaster. It's true! And to answer what do those 60k employee do: make money. Some develop ideas into products and the others sell them. And maybe them and most of their (important) clients are happy with their products, who knows?
