Microsoft vs Google in the Ad space.

I'm not a Microsoft fan, but I think the deal is a good one as it will help slow down
Google's attempt to grab 80% of the online advertising business.

Google says, "Do no evil," but as we just witnessed what it did to it's Google video
purchasers (http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2007-08-11-n74.html) and renters
of it's service. They shafted them big time. They, as people are pointing out,
robbed their users of content that they paid for.

If Google is willing to rob and lie to it's own paying customers, what do you think
that they will do to the rest of us if giving the chance?

Google is becoming a monopoly and I'm glad that Microsoft closed the deal.
Hopefully, Google will not be the only game in town; they should be prevented
from controlling the internet the way Microsoft did with Windows and Office.
