But Microsoft is way more dangerous than Google. They've been using all the dirtiest tricks in the books since decades longer than Google. MSFT also has a market cap 30% greater than the one of GOOG.

Microsoft is known in the industry, all around the world, for illegal kickbacks (including to officials).

Google may be bad but Microsoft is just downright an evil company. In addition to that, as the old saying goes, the day Microsoft produces a product that won't suck, it's going to be a vacuum cleaner.

At least Google gave back a lot to open source and contributed a huge lot to Linux and to Linux's success.

I'm not saying Google is clean but they're not anywhere near as dirty as Microsoft.

The whole agenda / narrative that pushed by Microsoft shills atm is also all too obvious "You must break Google". I don't think so. I think it's Microsoft that should be broken up by anti-trust regulations enforcement.

Shittiest company on earth.

Also, not using Android or Chrome is very feasible for almost everyone (thanks to iOS and Firefox/Chromium). Not using Windows is almost impossible for a large array of use cases and professions.
