Computer Science Competition: Google Versus Microsoft

Internet giant Google, Inc. is challenging Microsoft on its own turf by offering a suite of basic platforms for safe and stable computer operation. The free software kit is the latest attempt by Google to gain ground in the computer science industry by bringing technology offline.

Google is offering a free software kit for computer users that features several tools designed to improve the computing experience. The free software is Google's opening salvo against Microsoft for control of the computer science realm. Featuring screen savers and multi-media technology, users now have an option other than the traditional Microsoft platforms. Computer science experts agree that this move is just the beginning of Google's efforts to take away Microsoft's degree of on and offline domination of the industry.

Google Raises the Computer Science Stakes
  • Google Pack. The knock on the new software is that it may actually give Google more control over your computer functions.
  • Software Launch Pad. Computer experts believe that this new software could be a launch point for new Google programs.
  • Still Not Office. Google has stopped short of Microsoft by not yet offering word processing and data storage programs such as Office.
While this technology battle rages on, there is little doubt that the computer science industry is a hot ticket right now. If you are a tech lover, you should consider earning your computer science credentials through an online degree program. Computer science remains one of the most stable industries.

An Online Computer Science Degree
  • Program Length. The typical online computer science degree will take three or four years to complete, depending on the program.
  • Career Outlook. Computer science is a wide open field for those professionals with an online degree.
  • Online Environment. The online degree environment means that you can earn your computer science credentials from your own home.
For a hot career in technology, you just can't beat the field of computer science. Fortune 500 companies are in need of tech-savvy professionals just like you.
