DOJ's Microsoft prosecutor: Google is a monopoly

[Alex23]

 

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Microsoft has a surprising ally in its argument that Google is an abusive monopolist: Samuel Miller, the prosecutor who led the federal government's first antitrust case against Microsoft more than a decade ago.

"Having prosecuted the Microsoft case, its seems to me that Google, as a monopoly, is engaging in the same tactics to keep its dominant position as Microsoft was engaging in," Miller says. "Those are the same tactics that got Microsoft in trouble."

I'm with Microsoft on this.

[ManBearPig...]

the best pwnage ever during the "is microsoft a monopoly" trial was when the guy on the podium faces congress or whoever and goes "how many of you use apple software?" not a single hand goes up.

"how many of you use windows?" everyone raises their hand.

"gentlemen, that's a monopoly".

a monopoly is a government enforced limit on competition, with origin in a king granting a monopoly to a friend

a compettive winner is when a product at a price is better than any other

that us no ownage

What's google's product?

Their users, plain and simple.  their behaviors, their trends their interests.

Google's business is to bring ppl to the internet; and make sure they come to it using their shit...

As ppl move away from desktops, laptops and toward mobile devices, it was imperative for google to move toward it as well and make ads and penetration to these devices is maintained or greater...

Indirectly, they're one of the beast search engines, fast loading and no shit on it like yahoo, gmail is 1,000,000
times better then hotmail (which was amazing before ms bought it) google documents is also kick ass and let's you have a word processor anywhere you have net access and google maps and now with streetview
which pretty much everyone uses to find places or map routes to get somewhere..

I love google, they make my life easier and save me a shitload of time , I can get all these FREE products by
going to one page.. oh and I forgot google images which is also awesome
