Tencent, Microsoft struggle for world dominance

Today, my radar screen works and I picked up some interesting tidbits about Tencent and its struggle with Microsoft for world dominance. Really interesting to have a Dutch peek behind the scenes, although there is not too much I did not expect.
Thijs tells us how both companies struggle now mainly on the Chinese market with mainly Microsoft, but certainly have aspiration that go further. Interesting he does not mention the other giants.
Tencent's famous IM-application QQ has now also an English edition. That is still rather primitive, but a major upgrade is on its way.
Its video site (I reported about that earlier) is now widely available and you can expect an English edition soon - at least that is my speculation.
Much more is in the makings.
