Could Microsoft Beat Google to the Healthcare Service Line?

According to Mary Jo Foley from Microsoft-Watch, Microsoft is set to announce a number of new healthcare products and initiatives on July 26 during a press event in Washington, D.C. But Microsoft officials have declined to specify exactly what Peter Neupert, Microsoft’s corporate vice president of Health Solutions, will unveil at next week’s event.

However it is thought that that Microsoft may be ready to revile plans of a Windows Live Healthcare service, the existence of which has been the subject of rumors for the past few months.

And while Google executives have been for the past few months dropping hints of a Google healthcare Service, as of yet nothings has surfaced and when questioned about it their reply is that they are just experimenting and have no service for immediate release.

So could this mean that if a Windows Live Healthcare if unveiled it could possible beat Google to the Healthcare line of services? After all MSN does already own a MSN Health and Fitness portal which could possibly be replaced by Windows Live Healthcare.

I would love to know what you think so please leave your thoughts in the comments section.
