(Dropping hints) Gates implied that he would destroy Google in the same way as Netscape.

On Wednesday, at the 10th CEO Summit, Gates hinted that Microsoft will crush Google in much the same way it crushed Netscape - by tying enterprise search into Windows Vista, Office 2007, Outlook 2007, SharePoint 2007 and other Windows Server platforms, and extending this to Microsoft's Web services. Microsoft's search platform, be it Vista desktop search, SharePoint enterprise search, Windows Live Search or enhanced Web search, naturally ties back to other Windows services like Workflow and BI - something that competitors cannot do.
