When you give a browser a 70% market share it will always start abusing its position. Same as last time.

- majani 8y agoIt's more of an OS issue here. Google doesn't view Android as a separate line of business. It's merely a moat for the search business. There's no way for an OS to be a moat for another business without abusing the OS.
- SquareWheel 8y agoMicrosoft left IE6 stagnant. They didn't "abuse their position" other than through inactivity. Google is actively involved in the standardization process, and moved Youtube over to a new API too prematurely (v0 of a spec). Now that v1 has been standardized, they're updating to that instead. These are opposite problems. Microsoft got complacent whereas Google moved too fast.
