Google has surpassed Microsoft as World’s most visited website. Google had 528 million unique visitors in March, up 5 percent from the previous month, according to comScore. Microsoft had 527 million visitors during the same month, up 3.7 percent.
In a statement, Google said:
Our goal has always been to provide the best online experience for our users. We build products based on user needs and input, which is part of what makes Google unique and results in a great online experience.
Until the latest rankings, Microsoft was the most popular Web property in every month since comScore began tracking global numbers in January 2006. Google raced ahead based on its phenomenal popularity, not only in its core search business but also its e-mail service, online maps and personalized home pages.It is also reported that the acquisition of Youtube was a big step in boosting Google’s count of unique visitors.

I agree with this but a point is they both are from whole lot different ways. I mean Google is search engine whereas Microsoft is a corporate website with downloads, support etc. But still MSN / Live has a better rank than any daily website.
Rishi,
I was really surprised to know that Microsoft was most visited website till date.
Thats good. I hope they link to my blog in Google homepage.
I agree with Rishi. Microsoft’s main business is selling softwares and not search engine. I am eagerly waiting for google OS
@Ashwin,
Nice thought…
@Sharique,
By the rate at which Google is growing we can expect an OS soon.
Agreed. Still can’t believe that Microsoft is the most visited site.
I agree with you Rishi.
Though Microsoft has its Windows live / MSN search, Google is more user friendly then any other search engines including yahoo too, Which has positioned Google high…….
