Google Pursuing Frivolous Microsoft Antitrust Charge
Google to Microsoft: We will sue you if you try to make your OS better, this from the supposed “Good Company”.
According to a report in “The New York Times” on Sunday, Internet search giant Google has levied an antitrust charge against Microsoft, but the US Department of Justice (DOJ) has declined to pursue the case. The report is notable for a number of reasons. First, as noted by the Times, the DOJ has clearly changed its tune regarding Microsoft antitrust issues: Now, the agency is defending, not pursuing, the software giant. Second, as also noted by the Times, the DOJ and the Federal District Court overseeing Microsoft’s ongoing antitrust consent decree, have gone so far as to keep this most recent complaint a secret. But the third and most important point seems to be completely lost on the Times: Google’s charge is frivolous, baseless, and hypocritical.
