Microsoft Gives Up, Says It Can't Win: Files an Antitrust Complaint Against Google

<Quote>
Well, it's official, I take it. Android has won. Google has overturned
Microsoft. Microsoft has now waved the white flag and admitted it is
an also-ran in search and in mobile, and that it can't win on its own
merits without outside help from regulators. That's what I get from
its latest move, filing an antitrust complaint against Google with the
EU Commission.

You know what I think? I think it means Microsoft still doesn't
understand why it got into antitrust hot water, still accepts no
responsibility for what happened to the company. I understood that
better when I read the Paul Allen excerpt from his book in Vanity
Fair. The upper management are portrayed as ethically empty. That
would explain why Microsoft now seems to think that all it takes is a
competitor to complain, and Google will end up like it did. That
leaves out a powerful factor, which is that Microsoft really did abuse
its monopoly position and it did harm to the market, to cybersecurity,
to customers, to competitors in ways that are disturbing to the rest
of us. No one had to use partners and subsidiaries to cook up
something to complain about to make it look like it was doing bad
things. They really did them, and that is why they ended up in
antitrust hot water.
