It is not a monopoly (Score 1)

How can you consider it a monopoly? You are using their web search engine, looking for spreadsheets/email/im/etc.... so, theirs show up first, if you are home and misplace your car keys where do you look first? your own house! Of course they are going to try to make theirs first, where they could abuse their power is if you click on a competitors link and a message would appear say that theirs is better. or you search for email and it just automatically takes you to their email portal. They are not doing either, MS on the otherhand tries to make other products not work, or work not so well. The want you to use their media player, they do not even give the option, unless of you install the competing one and tell it to be the default, even then when new updates come out and you install the updates, it takes back over... Google vs MS in this issue is not comparable.... Google is good because their page loads fast without all the other shtuff that is not necessary. Also, look at yahoo, do a search for Instant messagenger, weather, email---they do the same. I will say quite to my suprise, msn did not do this, but like yahoo the advertisers go first....money rules.
