No browser, no portal

Now there is a statement from Google CEO Eric Schmidt that Google will not go into a browser war against Microsoft. So Schmidt seconds what John Doerr said a few weeks ago. Schmidt goes on to explain that Google won’t move towards being a broader internet portal, avoiding to go into direct competition with Microsoft and Yahoo on that stage. Actually releasing the desktop search was a strong move into Microsofts territory allready, and they pushed into Yahoo’s earlier that year by launching Gmail. So I guess they try to avoid confronting these any more right now. The web search is still their home playground though, where Microsoft and Yahoo do have a lot to catch up.
