Google are a business, not saints, and they do a lot of things that align with their interests and against the interests of their customers. However, I think this is not comparable to what Microsoft did in the OS business (the story I told, BeOS, DR-DOS, IE Bundling) -- an apt comparison would be if the Google Search Engine had been Chrome only, or mobile Googling was Android only. Google Earth is a niche product - I don't see how this (or any other less-than-fair Google practice I've ever heard of) can be considered abusing one's monopoly in any way.
