#5I think Google has a kind of purpose and drive which will take it very very far.
They want to "organize the world's information", but that's less than half the story - an even bigger challenge is making all this information not only understandable and usable to humans but making it all work seamlessly together - a monumental task they are barely getting started at.
Unrelated (but necessary) they also seem to be doing very well at the organizational aspect of absorbing new ideas and companies and integrating them into themselves.

#7Funny APPL has a market cap (624B) that is bigger than Google (248) and "wintel" (248 + 115 = 363) combined.
Seriously, that Google has lapped the larger part of what was the Microsoft / Intel juggernaut of the last century is notable of course, but I wonder if its the wrong question.

#8PC loses to Web ads is more likely.
I think Google's got better at getting people to click on ads. For example, one of the following is a search result and the other is an ad. How many people can differentiate between them on various monitors?
I remember the time when Google differentiated itself by clearly marking ads, now it's no longer true for high value keywords.

#10Yet another "market value defines losing/winning" article between 2 products that don't even compete.
