Google Video and Microsoft Live

I‘m not sure what to think of Google’s Video Search, a place where people can upload videos for everyone to see. Maybe Google is out to kill their competition: America’s Funniest Movies. At least they can afford the monthly bandwidth bill.

I almost missed Gates’ introduction of Windows Live, Microsoft’s answer to Whatever 2.0. I can’t imagine Microsoft going the Google way, just as I can’t imagine Google going the OS way. What’s the point of having another portal? How does Live fit in with Microsoft’s portals MSN or even Start.com (obviously, Live.Com is using Start.com’s code)?

Update: I’m not the only person who noticed the similarities between Start.Com and Live.com.
