Well, it’s all about support. A lot of Blu-Ray manufacturers played both sides of the fence and the tide only turned when Sony flashed some cash.

Was Blue-Ray not a “Barney” alliance?

I don’t think Google is going to just let Android roll over and expose it’s underbelly. This is a “make or break” deal for them. Google suceeds, and it’s all over for MS and traditional business networking. Handheld devices take over and level the playing field. And MS knows it.

Google fails, and they get back in the knight’s line, tilting at the MS windmill. The Yahoo takeover is simply brick and mortar reinforcement. But they need that reinforcement…

…Their underbelly is exposed.
