Microsoft to file antitrust charges against Google, LOL!

Microsoft to file antitrust charges against Google, LOL!

By Denis Pombriant on March 31, 2011

What a difference a decade makes.  The New York Times reported on Wednesday that Microsoft will file antitrust charges against Google in Brussels today.  Just about a decade ago circumstances were reversed as Microsoft was the 800-pound gorilla in the operating system world.  Today Google is the monster of search and all things related to […]
