Ah! Okay, that makes a lot more sense and definitely reeks of 90's era Microsoft-tier anticompetitive behavior.

- kuschku 11y agoExactly. The EU already fought it back then, so it makes sense they’ll fight it here again. The other EU antitrust case – the one about the Google Search – also was often misrepresented, but one of the major concerns was that Google took reviews from Yelp!, displayed them in Google Maps and Google Search, did not link back to Yelp!, and when Yelp! requested Google to stop doing so, Google threatened to blacklist Yelp! from the search completely. These cases are not just hot air, although it seems like a lot of people try to misrepresent them, be it for misguided corporate loyalty or personal incentive. I personally hope the EU can improve the situation for us users soon. A Kindle device from HTC would be nice, and the ability to use DuckDuckGo from the recents menu, not just the Launcher. Being able to use non-Google push notification services would also reduce my own costs – I’m a student working on FLOSS apps – by about 15$ a month – I’d finally be able to get 3G speeds on my phone, currently I can only afford 64kbps unlimited internet.
