Google based on "open source ideals?" Puleeze
Google is based on the god of the holy dollar. They have the perfect PR spin with "do not evil" but meanwhile they're becoming the world's information storage house. They know where you shop. They know what you buy. They know the Web sites you visit. They know who you send email to. They know who you receive email from. And, to top it off, their ENTIRE BUSINESS MODEL is based on their collection of that information and making money on it by targeting ads. There's nothing secret about it.

Oh, by the way, Microsoft's anitrust transgressions...as awaful or non-awful as people may think based on their point of view...took place more than 10 years ago. Water under the bridge for most (rational) people.
