Microsoft takes A Bow To Google Adwords?

Microsoft Advertising On Google

Just noticed a very interesting thing while I was surfing the net looking for some CSS templates and tutorials.

Looks like Microsoft wants to tap on the vast reach of Google search base by advertising its Embedded Systems products, in the paid-for Google Ads.

And the most interesting part is that it seems like Microsoft doesn't seem to be playing by the Google rules! The title of the ad is not representing truly what the product is - Embedded Systems!

It looks like Microsoft is trying to get the attention of the developer community by bidding for top slots on important keywords that us guys might be looking for.

Check this picture out.


For the record, the ad was spotted at 11.00 p.m. IST (i.e. India Standard Time) in New Delhi, India.

I'd like to know what do you guys have to say on this? Shouldn't Google kick Microsoft's butt on this one, as if it isn't doing that every now and then? ;-)

Now, would Microsoft push Windows Vista through this route as well?

Do let me have your comments, guys! :-)
