C'mon.
Microsoft controlled Windows, an operating system. A browser is a thing that can be included in an operating system. Google controls google.com, a website. A browser is not something that can be included in a website.
- theturtletalks 7y agoYes but is Google search not the default search engine for Chrome? Just like IE was the default search browser for Windows.
- toasterlovin 7y agoThey are not using their browser monopoly (which doesn't exist) to force people to use their search product. That would be the corollary to the Windows -> Internet Explorer case.
- theturtletalks 7y agoHow about using Android dominance to push their search or other services? They were forced to unbundle in the EU but no action from the US. If they were held to the same anti trust standard Microsoft faced, they would’ve had anti trust cases against them already.
- toasterlovin 7y agoThey're nowhere near a monopoly in the U.S. (and, I would imagine, Western Europe) and Google doesn't even work in China. I'm just not seeing it.
- stcredzero 7y agoThey are arguably using their browser dominance to prop up their search engine dominance.
