So, your argument is that the existence of competitors and the fact that
people are capable of choice implies that Google has no market power - at
the drop of a hat, every user would switch to bing or yahoo or some other
search.

Really? You think so? Even less savvy users who don't read slashdot?
Even people who don't know how to set which search their browser
defaults to? Even users who use gmail and get some benefit from the
concept of a homepage?

Recall we were all down on Microsoft for defaulting to IE in Windows as
"clearly abusing a monopoly position." And yet changing that was only
a
few clicks away (as demonstrated in court).
