I'm inclined to side with google on this one. They've taken a bunch of stuff microsoft started, put it on the internet for everyone to use (under their own software) and now they're in control of the market. Technically it's a monopoly, but if it's not costing me anything, who cares?
nothing google does is free! ppl on this forum should know better . 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!
