Down voted? Google is worth 2,000x what Powerset is being bought for, and that's money MSFT really wants. If it really could "kill Google", it should be worth more than 0.05% of Google.
If the goal is to kill Google, then the price indicates it's a risky bet. If the goal is good semantic search, then buying Powerset's tech and adding MSFT's financial resources to scale it sounds like a really good plan. Exaggeration doesn't help anyone.
