MS took a paid for product in the market and used Windows to drive it's price to $0, basically killing Netscape. This was a position where they used their monopoly on the desktop to beat a competitive product that was, at the time, purchased at a store in a box. For Google, while it does use its position to promote its stuff, it's also the kind of thing where you can avoid it by typing in duckduckgo.com or Yahoo.com. It's not a huge barrier to avoid Google. It's not as if Google has built the only train tracks west of the Mississippi, and is not allowing anyone else to use them. Rather, it's more like they built a balloon you sorta grab outa the air for free as you need it, with the ability to quickly try another balloon from a different manufacturer just by grabbing at the string next to it. If Google was restricting Web Searches of paid-for items to only its stores, or making it so you could only read the NYT by paying Google to access that site's news, or some other thing where they were gatekeeping with a toll, they'd be acting as a monopolistic corp. But since you can always just type in another URL within a few seconds and be at another search engine, I see it as a fairly cut and dried sign that competition exists and is accessible, it's just shittier than Google.
