The ever-thoughtful Brad left this comment on my Microsoft write-up: "Sometimes dominance isn't such a
bad thing. Google has yet to prove it's dominance has any serious
negative consequences. After all, they created the ad space from
scratch while we all stood knee deep in paid-search-results doo doo,
otherwise known as the 'death of search'. Similarly, people get upset by the "dominance" of iTunes, which is
really only a problem for gigantic multi-national corporations, ie.
Apple has taken power from *them* - which seems a good thing to me.
Nonetheless, people are afraid of dominance. Given the situation, having Microsoft offer competition is a far
scarier prospect than Google domination. Better to live in a
Google-dominated world than a Microsoft one." So, for one man at least, Google Isn't Evil.
