This new information is quite helpful for me. It reaffirms my assessment that this is all about PR and I shouldn’t believe anyone. Microsoft’s motives aren’t pure, Google’s motives aren’t pure but that’s kinda obvious, isn’t it?
(By the way, we do not know whether or not Google and Microsoft were already talking about conditions, we don’t know what those conditions were. You seem to base your assessment on information we don’t have.)
- HardyLeung 15y agoThis is my take. Microsoft is known to be evil, led by incompetent leaders, etc. I get it. They intent to use patents to screw Google to the fullest extent possible, and like anyone would/should be surprised. On the other hand, Google took the high road and built on their feel-good "Do No Evil" mantra. So I hold them to their words, and whenever a screw-up like this happens, where Googlers were exposed to be liars no different than others, shouldn't they be "punished" at least by their own pie in the face a bit more?
