Microsoft vs. Google
Microsoft, lawsuits, EU, monopoly, sound familiar? It does.
However, Microsoft is now sitting on the other side. They filed a complaint about Google’s purchase of DoubleClick, giving Google control over most of the web advertising and publishing. You can read about it here.
As a Linux user I’m not really a great fan of Microsoft, but I believe Google is approaching Microsoft’s status very fast. Only instead of desktop programs, it’s web applications. Considering how much of our private data Google has available, it should be the one to fear.
So, if you have to know, I’m on Microsoft’s side now. I know they’re acting out of fear of losing the market share, but I don’t feel comfortable seeing the Google account bar on every page I go.
Good night, free society.
