"Remember the TV show Moonlighting? Microsoft is hoping you do. Otherwise, you won't get the main joke behind it's latest smear against Google.\n\"Googlighting,\" from Microsoft's Office 365 unit, presents Google as an ill-prepared, smug salesman trying to convince a Cybill Shepherd type to use the company's cloud collaboration software. \"Wait, you want us to be your lab rats?\" a skeptical Cybill asks. \"Pioneers,\" corrects the Bruce Willis wannabe. \nUnlike the young Willis, though, the Google stand-in crumbles under Cybill's questioning about spell check and the ability to use the software when an Internet connection is lacking. He then concedes that the software could change from day to day depending on consumer preference. \"Who knows what the future holds for Google Apps?\" he asks, insouciantly. \nConsidering the war of words over patent disputes and privacy issues, this broadside on Google is fairly innocuous. \nThat's primarily because the claim that Google is a freewheeling, fly-by-night operation doesn't ring true. For that reason this latest missive pales next to Gmail Man, a more pointed attack Microsoft unleashed against Google last summer that highlighted Gmail's creepy practice of scanning your emails for keywords to use for advertising purposes.\nStill, is the latest attack amusing? As David Addison would say, \"Do ducks duck?\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
