Microsoft CEO says unfair practices by Google led to its dominance as a search engine::Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said Monday that unfair tactics used by Google led to its dominance as a search engine, tactics that in turn have thwarted his company's rival program, Bing. Nadella testified in a packed Washington, D.C., courtroom as part of the government's landmark antitrust trial against Google's parent company, Alphabet. The Justice Department alleges Google has abused the dominance of its ubiquitous search engine to throttle competition and innovation at the expense of consumers, allegations that echo a similar case brought against Microsoft in the late 1990s.

Fuck you Microsoft. Your entire existence is based upon unfair monopolistic practices, I still remember having to build sites for IE6 you sick fucks.

You spent millions literally on sabotaging your competition, and you're still not able to create quality software yourself. You get to say nothing here.

Microsoft should be broken up, bankruptcy would be even better

They only avoided getting anti-trusted and split up like Ma Bell because W came into power and called off the prosecution. They have zero right to complain about monopolistic practices in the tech industry, lol.

The were actually found guilty of anti trust by the department of justice, but somehow they were able to pay their fines by supplying schools with free copies of windows. Fuck me
