I doubt if Google Docs, Gmail, YouTube, Maps or Orkut makes a bootload of money. Eventually Office Web Apps will catch up on Gmail. Hotmail and Bing Maps India though need a serious overhaul. Hotmail is plain horribly lacking in features. Microsoft will happily settle for profit-making products. I doubt if Google Docs, Gmail, YouTube, Maps or Orkut makes a bootload of money.

Where as Google has taken up local search very very seriously. Case and point, try searching "Musical instruments mumbai". Google lists and updated list of shops with a map and *working* phone mumbers. Bing, well it has a pretty wallpaper. Orkut today has become as Indian as Hakka Noodles. Gmail has a great English-Hindi transliteration. Microsoft, well, donates for AIDS. It looks like MS has already missed the boat. Microsoft doesn’t seem to be interested at all in markets like India.
