I shut my computer down for the night,
but I'm still incensed, so a I'm
continuing on my phone.
The article does mention the Microsoft
case about them giving away a
free browser to thwart Netscape. The
obvious parallel we are supposed
to draw is the browser was free like
Google search is free, but Microsoft
got charged anyhow. But the browser
was distributed on a platform
people were heavily invested in,
whereas nobody has a cent invested in
Google search. Also, Microsoft had 95%
of the market, whereas Google
only has 67%.
Btw: Microsoft is still up to their old
tricks
Guess what came down with the last
batch of Windows Updates? It was
the stupid Bing Desktop. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

But It's certainly not Google's fault if browser makers set Google
as the default search engine. Maybe, just maybe, Google is
exploiting those users who don't know how, or fear the consequences,
to change the search engine. Please, no lectures on how it's only
one mouse click away. I know that, you know that, but I suspect
just sometimes from the lofty heights of Groklaw's ivory tower
we don't consider what would happen if Homer Simpson tried
to change his search engine.
