Bill gates owns Google, He also owns Microsoft so therefore they are owned by the same person(s) excuse me if i am wrong though

Bill Gates doesn't own Google at all.

And pigs fly... why would Microsoft have Google AND Bing, why would Microsoft have Chrome and Internet Explorer, why would Microsoft have Chrome OS AND Windows, why would Microsoft have Windows Phone Seven Series AND Google Android, why would Microsoft have Google Docs, Microsoft Office AND Office Online, why would Microsoft have Gmail and Hotmail, why would Microsoft even have two brands.

Also nobody owns Google or Microsoft, you should learn how shares work.

I'm sure Hitler said 'Excuse me if I'm wrong, but I think Jews are the work of the devil.' and everyone just let him off the hook. Also, your college telling you that is just ****** up.

Over reaction, much? I think he learnt he was wrong before your post

Also, although they are two seperate companies, it's not strange to find companies owned by the same company making rival products. The car world is littered with examples

Excuse me if I am wrong, but the majority share holder does basically own the company lol.

I think so.

As far as I am aware, the majority share holder pretty much owns the company.

For example, Bill Gates could fire Steve Ballmer if he wished to do so?

Also, when Bill eventually dies, if he is still the majority share holder (although he sold off a lot didn't he?) he could have it in his will that his relative can now take his shares - so his relative can now fire Steve Ballmer

It varies, some places have rules where the majority share holder cannot change the course of the company or fire anyone willy nilly if the other shareholders feel it is a wrong step. They have a huge say, but in some cases they can get in trouble by other shareholders if they feel they're acting for the sake of acting on an idea. Most majority share holders do not care if they're making money at the end of the day
