While the mobiles are taking over as the mainstream Internet devices, we still have a valid reason to believe that desktops aren't fading out anytime soon. Microsoft's is betting big on Windows 8 and being the controller of the majority of world's desktop, Microsoft sits on lot of power - enough to make Google worry. Those who've upgraded to Windows 8 know that Microsoft's done a great job of integrating Bing search app right in the tiled start interface. Microsoft even launched a video to show the power of the new Bing app. Check it out -



Google got nervous and has launched the 'Google on Windows 8' website to inform people how they can get the Google experience back on Windows 8. The website points you to two apps - the Google Search App and Google Chrome. It asks you to put them on the front screen so that you can switch back to Google on Windows 8 new interface. While the techies have already taken these steps; there's a big number of people out there who're going to stick with what Microsoft's offering to them - as long as it works.



We'll leave it to the readers to decide whether Google's really nervous about Bing Search App on Microsoft or it's just a smart business move.
