What are you talking about? I didn't give you any link, but the discussion I was referring to is only a couple of comments up. This shows you aren't here to follow the discussion, or you would have seen it. You are only here to plant your memes. What's in it for you?

I'm glad to see you acknowledge that Microsoft is a monopolist that has been
found guilty of illegal tactics.

Microsoft is different than Google in that it prevents competition. If you try
to compete, it actively attacks and uses its dominance to shut you down. It
does not try to win by competing.

Google is the opposite. To compete with Google, customers only need to type a
few keys on a keyboard. So Google *must* compete to attract its customers. It
*must* provide a service that people want to use.

Look at how fast MySpace disappeared when people decided FaceBook was better..
If people decided Bing was better, Bing would get all the traffic.

But wait just a minute.. That would require Microsoft to compete.. Something
they really don't know how to do effectively. A much more Microsoft-like way to
approach this problem is to align with the Google haters and try to force change
through lawsuits. This is how MS gets things done. It seems this is also how
Apple now gets things done when they feel the pressure of competition.

In the end, everyone loses.. You sit here and complain that we are evil. We sit
here and complain that you are a troll.. And MS, Google, and Apple all rake in
tons of cash and sue each other.

But for some reason you get your jollies by stirring the pot in a forum based on
getting to the true facts. Contribute a useful point and you will be respected
(still may be called a troll, but can't please everyone). Contribute garbage
and enjoy everyone pointing out how much of an idiot you are.
