Using Moore's law does that mean Google's development is approximately 6 years ahead of MS?

(8 times faster code doubles the speed once, doubles the speed twice, and doubles the speed a third time.)

Moore's law works backwards with software. Google's development is 6 years behind MS.

I believe you're thinking of Zawinski's Law.

I'd rather say they're lagging regarding Wirth's law.
