Why isn't there an anti-trust investigation (outside of the Yahoo deal) on Google?

Oh I don't know... maybe Microsoft was actually evil? Google is a dominant player but they don't crush competitors in unethical manners or ram propriety formats or locked-in system down everyone's throat. People can browse the web just as easily without Google's (free) services, if they so choose. The fact that they are very popular, in the completly free world of the web, is evidence of their competence, not lack of choice.

I'm worried about privacy issues just as much as anyone else but to compare their actions to the unethical past of Microsoft is gross misrepresentation, and, to be honest, overly dramatic.
