Microsoft has a Google Adwords account
Look at the following screenshot:
What’s so funny here?
First of all, when searching
for “Open Source” on Google (google.be, the Belgian version to which I was
redirected automatically), the first (sponsored) result is a website from Microsoft. I thought this was quite ironic by
itself, but when you think about it a bit more… this means that Microsoft actually must have a Google Adwords account and pay for the
“Open Source” keyword!
Isn’t that ironic?
Funny thing is that their link (http://www.Microsoft.be/DefyAllChallenges
(mind the upper case characters)) doesn’t work: “We’re sorry, but
there is no Microsoft.com Web page that matches your entry. It is possible you
typed the address incorrectly, or the page may no longer exist. You may wish
to try another entry or choose from the links below, which we hope will help
you find what you’re looking for.”
Oh well…
