Google Blew a Ten-Year Lead
Google never had a ten year lead, that's pretty naive. Google had a ten year _lag_. Microsoft already had office when Google appeared, and while fans have numerous reasons to like Google docs & friends, they were never better or bigger than Office.<p>Chrome OS has a tremendous lag on windows and Mac.<p>It's really hard to innovate once you start to be compared to a established brand. Go ask Bing.<p>Unless duck duck go becomes larger than Google, they never blew any lead, only were defeated in places opponents were stronger.
