Microsoft Accuses Google of Monopoly

A perfect example of pot calling the kettle black.

Hypocrisy aside, Microsoft does have a point. As the article states...

"Microsoft also warned that a search engine can promote its favoured publishers by pushing them higher up the search rankings, sometimes without merit. By the same token, it can demote those publishers it dislikes, and can even remove these publishers’ results from the search index entirely. Finally, Microsoft warned that the dominant search provider’s ad network could manage to suppress the smaller speakers who could not sustain themselves without ad revenue, or it could turn around and simply decide to return less revenue to its advertisers in order to pour more money into its own banks.

OK so at least Microsoft isn’t trying to force people into switching from Google to Bing, like the child who other kids are forced to hang out with because otherwise he’d have no friends. No, in what at first appeared to be a laughable claim, Microsoft appears to be making a genuinely legitimate complaint that the public is unaware of just how much of the internet Google (or should we say “the unnamed dominant search provider”?) controls."

Monopolies aren't illegal. Just companies that abuse their power. Like MS that has been convicted multiple times.

Steve Ballmer whining as he destroys MS instead of fixing their problems. For years we have heard the excuse Windows is a spam/virus haven because it's so popular. Well then how do they explain this...

Given Windows mobile is the least popular platform and once again the leader in security vulnerabilities.

They are out of propaganda spin and excuses. Try and deflect attention to everyone else being the problem.
