- 29083011397778 6y agoIf Google colludes with Microsoft to decide each can have one market, free of competition, that would be illegal. For example, Google trades the sub-thousand dollar laptop market (ceasing development of Chromebooks) for a monopoly in search.

- mmm_grayons 6y agoRight, but what was described is not collusion. It's just targeting a different market without much existing competition.
