Google's Microsoft Moment

I was just reading a great article by Anil Dash: “Google's Microsoft Moment.” He illustrates a great many parallels to how Google’s corporate culture is shifting as Microsoft’s did years ago.

“This is, for lack of a better term, Google's "Microsoft Moment". This is the point when the difference between their internal conception of the company starts to diverge just a bit too far from the public perception of the company, and even starts to diverge from reality. At this inflection point, the reasons for doing new things at Google start to change.
