Now it seems Google is doing pay-back by crippling Microsoft's Phone efforts by not offering their services on them. I can't feel sorry for Microsoft in the least, it seems like finally they are subjected to 'what you reap is what you sow'.
- jgroome 14y agoI feel like it's the customers who are being punished, not so much Microsoft.
- glogla 14y agoYes, but it's Microsoft customers who implicitly agree with Microsoft policies like pressuring OEMs to not sell computers without Windows Tax, or the whole Secure Boot debacle.
- spiralpolitik 14y agoBe careful for what you wish for as it looks like other non WebKit browsers will be caught up in all this. Under this remit Firefox OS/Boot to Gecko for example would be blocked from using Google Maps. Regardless who the victims are its a bad move for anybody who believes in open web standards.
- taligent 14y agoSo by your warped logic Google users also agree with Google policies like deliberately invading your privacy (ignoring Safari DNT) and acting in a grossly anti-competitive manner by abusing FRAND patents (which they thankfully got told off for this week).
