Is microsoft upset that they got caught stealing Google's results, so now they are gonna sue them over something else just to feel better about themselves? :p:
Who is Microsoft to accuse Google of being a monopoly? Microsoft just needs to up their level -- I'm sure it's every company's dream to dominate the market so that everyone wants your product; and to accuse another company of wrong-doing for accomplishing that is not right. Hopefully this isn't taken too seriously in court. Microsoft needs to spend more time and effort elsewhere.
remind me again how google's actions increase costs for consumers
This is how:Quote:

You have got to be kidding. Microsoft arguing the bad business practice of Google?!
What hypocrites.:rofl:
The long standing monopolistic company is going after the new monopoly? How ironic.
From what I can tell, google hasn't cost me a dime. Increasing costs of the consumer? Whatever. I use youtube, google documents, chrome, gmail, and their search engine on a regular basis.
Thank you Google for pissing microsoft off. :clap:
This is the funnest thing I've heard all day.
This thread is pure win. :rofl:
Exactly. This is crap. Does google even charge for anything???Quote:

Pretty sure google and microsoft are buddy buddy.
I just figured that another perspective from MovieMan would be appreciated here.
Microsoft has balls to point any fingers at entities for being monopolies seeing how they are such fine upstanding citizens themselves:rolleyes:
Look at Windows 7 which is basically a (Vista Re-badge) yet they got away with that B.S which I think was wrong, considering everybody had to upgrade to a entire computer just to be able to run Vista which was and is a complete pile of :banana::banana::banana::banana:tttt. Only a very powerdfull monopoly could get away with that us common folk would be thrown in the pokey for 15 years if we pulled that kind of stunt.
I must have missed the instruction from Microsoft forcing me to buy Windows 7Quote:

Nah that's not ms's fault though...
How about ie9 and dx10/11.
Not required, yet... ;)
Google are the scariest monopoly ever. People in the UK worry about the extent of media control Murdock has. The web however is a global media format and Google control it.
I really don’t like the way that search results are becoming increasing a measure of how much money you spend on SEO/ Google Ads and I don’t like how my web browsing is monitored to work out what advertisements to feed me.
Small companies are being crippled with the cost of SEO/ Google Ads.
Maybe they started off with the right intent, but when you get that large people with morals don’t tend to get a say.
care for some drinks??? :rofl::rofl::rofl:Quote:

Just imagine buying a whole new computer just to be able to run Microsofts New Operating System (DDR2 was Not Cheap Back Then) and only to find out that you were blatantly lied to.
I spoke with Dave a couple of Days ago, I know he is behind this:D although he never mentioned to me that he would be doing it:rofl:Quote:

Meh, both companies just fire the same attacks at each other, and both are just as bad. Neither is interested in true openness when monopolies are where the money is. Embrace, extend, and extinguish.
Hopefully Google gets held to the same standards that MS was and is. Looks like the Google fanboys figure that shouldn't be the case though so we'll see.Quote:

The issue that I see here is that google isn't costing me a dime, so I really don't care. Meanwhile, I've spent Thousands of dollars over the years on various microsoft products, simply because they had a strangle hold over the OS and productivity software market.Quote:

nothing google does is free! ppl on this forum should know better :shakes:. google deals in information, the more they get the better. to me $300 vs my information/privacy is a no brainer. right now google has more power than ms because they can control the worlds info. if google should not be held to these standards then neither should ms!Quote:
