Laying down the gauntlet...GOOG v. MSFT
It's been a few years since I read Sun Tzu's the Art of War, but Google's announcement yesterday of an App Engine that scales using Google Infrastructure is nothing less than a full frontal assault at Microsoft's server business.

Now, the gloves are off....it's going to be fun to see how Ballmer and Co respond.
