Google goes after Microsoft Woah! Somehow I didn't think any company was actually brave enough to try a direct, honest tactic like this with Microsoft. Yet here we have a story about Sergey Brin, Google's co-founder, bad-mouthing the other software giant at a recent company event. Among other tasty rhetorical hors d'oeuvres served that day was this one:

We certainly see a history with that particular company, Microsoft, behaving anti-competitively, being a convicted monopoly

The San Francisco Chronicle also reports that Brin "then talked about Google taking preemptive action against any future abuse by Microsoft, including lobbying the Justice Department."

Way to go, Google! Now, stop pandering to Internet Explorer in all of your software projects, and my faith will really be renewed.
