Competition between Google and Microsoft increases every day and so does their tools to help putting the other down. The thing is also available when it comes to the relation between Google and Apple. What do I mean exactly? Google released a ‘squad’ of world-class security researches, named ‘Project Zero’ which detect bugs on the Internet. The problem is that they do so and after make them public before the company which has them even manages to solve the problem.
They don't make own bugs public
Now it is the case of Microsoft which complains about Google’s policy in detecting some bugs of Windows 8 and made them public. The activity of this sector is a good thing in general terms because its aims are to make the Internet a better and safer place. But the problem is that Microsoft accuses Google of doing this on purpose to put them in a spot light. Still, this isn’t something new because in the past Google was accused that was doing same things also against Apple. For comparison, when discovering their own bugs, Google’s researchers don’t make them public.
