"but Google are probably most known for acquiring software companies. What other big software company acquirers are there? (Not to be imply that there aren't any.)"

You are both saying the exact same thing. Which is bizarre, because it sounds like you're in disagreement... But you're not.

The actual sentences say exactly the same thing ("Google is currently the biggest technology acquirer, by far").
