Microsoft+Monopoly=Lets charge people their socks off for our software on an annual basis. Break their bank, then make them dependant on our buggy software

Google+Monopoly=Sacrifice a little surfing privacy for a service that is free, gives you what you want(more likely if you use the tool correctly) and is free!

I dont want ot see google expanding too quickly into other markets(which it seems it has) but i pray to god they become a player in the software industry.

Some have speculated that they will buy sun systems. If they do so, with the talent in their ranks, and do it good then i will gladly have another reason to abandon MS.

With the capital they now have they can look to other markets whilst still improving search. They just need to find the balance.

Anolonda, they may be a monopoly in search and may be looking to get in bed with other players, but lets just give them some more time before we judge. I have my GoogleGlasses on, hope you are not blinded by the glare...
