Microsoft and Google: Partners or Rivals?

With Google going IPO soon the NY Times looks at a possibility of a Microsoft takeover of the web search company.

“According to company executives and others briefed on the discussions, Microsoft - desperate to capture a slice of the popular and ad-generating search business - approached Google within the last two months to discuss options, including the possibility of a takeover.”

So you reckon Google could go the Netscape way if big bad MS becomes its rival?
