Over the years Microsoft has been on the receiving end of regulators’ investigators, the New York Times reports the company is now using that experience to run a global harassment campaign against Google.
That Microsoft are funding various groups to make complaints about Google shows how regulators, and reporters have to be careful about such campaigns.
Dear Paul,
It would help if you would refrain from taking a position on Google versus others, and maybe would refresh your memory first.
Underwriting a statement that Microsoft would be running a global harassment campaign is not supported by the fact that different groups of individuals and organisations file complaints against Google and that some of these are joined by companies, including Microsoft, different search engine providers, different commercial organisations, etc.
Just remember that complaints against Microsoft regarding the browser choice and functionality were playing in the hands of other interested parties, and these were very present in the complaints process as well . . .
It looks like you try to change the saying:
‘My enemy’s enemy is my friend’
into
‘My enemies enemy is to blame for everything’
Cees.
