You fail to understand how to interpret a "relative growth" chart. Google is not "steadily between +20% and +60% growth." Since a random point in time picked

Since a random point in time picked by WA it shows what you would be up on another random point in time. If you look at the historical returns of MSFT vs GOOG there is no competition. You're original $10,000 in MSFT would be worth many millions and your GOOG stock would be worth less than $100,000.
- dexen 16y agoThat's a valid point, but it bears no relation to matter of the current trend -- which is what OP argued about, right? And the seems to be: GOOG price is growing, MSFT price is flat for some years. So what it skyrocketed years ago, when somebody else held the helm and the market was not saturated with countless `me-too' products? BTW., switch to the 5 year range in WA and you still see the trend.
