I wonder if Bill Gates was involved in this idea. He has the level of cunning needed to pull this off. Using Google's pretense of "openness" against itself.

>Now they can point to Google and say "look, everyone, Google is taking away your toys, they must be evil!". And they would be right. It's not mutually exclusive that Microsoft is doing this evilly on purpose, and that Google is evilly
