Google Joins EU Crusade Against Microsoft

Google has added its name to the list of browser makers fighting Microsoft. They join Mozilla and Opera on the case. Google has a lot more money than both the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation and Opera Software RSA combined, meaning that the EU now has a level competitor. Despite Chrome’s relatively low adoption rate, Google contends that packaging Internet Explorer with the Windows operating system is anticompetitive. I personally think this whole lawsuit, and the vendetta the European Union has against Microsoft, is complete nonsense. Also, it makes me wonder- if they aren’t allowed to bundle a free browser with their operating system, how will the common person be able to browse the internet to get a different one on a fresh install?
