"The damage is done and Google has tainted their good name with consumers."
Remember how many times MS did taint their "good name"? Did it hurt them?
What do we have know? Moms, dads, grandmas and grandpas who thought MS was a "good name" and who hence bought Windows phones who are pissed off at Google, telling their kids / grandkids how nasty Google is.
And their kids / grand-kids are answering them:
"I told you to buy either an iPhone or an Android phone mom/dad/grandma"
and having a good laugh.
- azakai 14y ago> Remember how many times MS did taint their "good name"? Did it hurt them? Yes, it most definitely did. Many developers left Microsoft platforms for Linux and later OS X, for various reasons but including Microsoft's actions. (It was my reason.) Stories like this harm the Google brand, and that is never a consequence-free thing.
