Maps is a clear in-house success.
Android and Docs/Drive/Sheets were two acquisitions.
Google is certainly a contender in cloud computing services, but they have a market share of 4% in 2018 for a product category they were one of the first to enter on a big scale, and I don't think niche success is what they are after.
I'm not sure what I think about Chromebooks. I'd like to hope that it has an exciting, Fuchsia-coloured future.

- mburns 7y agoNot really, no.
- brozaman 7y agoMaps is also an acquisition, although we could argue that what google maps successful was developed after the acquisition.
