After years of bitter rivalry since 1994 between Apple Computer Inc and Microsoft Corporation after copyright issue that was ruled in Microsoft’s favor, the two are still doing business together. Years later, Apple agrees to make Microsoft’s Internet Explorer the default browser for Mac book. Microsoft even invested in $150 million on Apple ad agreed to make Office for Mac book.

Over the years, Apple and Microsoft still remain as enemies. However, both the companies have one common and a bigger enemy, Google. Let us see why.
Firstly, the CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt became one of the Board of Directors of Apple. His rich experience in the internet space and technology as a strategists and entrepreneur was an added advantage to Apple. Moreover, the two companies were in different domains. Google was more into search engine. Lately with the launch of Android, the open source mobile operating system, and with more phones using it, the fallout between the two began.
Secondly, tensions grew further as the CEO of Google Eric Schmidt resigned from the Broad of Directors of Apple. Apple even rejected Google Voice Application on iPhone.

Thirdly, as Google expanded its business and directly starting competing with Apple in many fields the matters have grown worse. Nexus One is the closest competitor of iPhone in the smart phone category. Google Chrome, Chrome OS and Google may even compete with Apple on the Apple Tablet domain as well.
Recent developments between the talks of Apple and Microsoft in business in that iPhone’s default browser could be Bing, the Microsoft’s search engine. This could be a big blow to Google. The war has begun.
