I swear, you guys would defend Google for killing puppies. You would tell me that it was more humane and the right thing to do.

Here, let's help you and the rest of the world understand the actual legal difference between the two.

Microsoft: Sold Microsoft Office, then Windows, with various versions of it until 1998, at which point they reached their dominant position, is when they started to bundle IE and become hostile to OEMs by demanding they put IE on the desktop and require every computer to be bundled with MS Windows.

Google: Stipulated that if you wanted to carry the Android Store, they required adhering to certain design stipulations of the OS and software to make sure their apps and others would work. This is the OHA. Same behavior from day one until now.

Microsoft has no valid complaint. Anti-trust laws do not prevent monopolies, but abuse of them once reached.

Google did not change any policies of Android once becoming the dominant OS.
