What disturbs me is how it's okay for Google to allow this "for Chrome users only" but it's a $700m fine for Microsoft for bundling Internet Explorer into the OS. Is Microsoft really more of a monopoly than Google? Of course not. It's ridiculous that MSFT gets fined such high amounts but no one questions Google's ethics or says, "Hey, wait a minute..."
