I disagree that google rolling over and let Microsoft continue their abuse and bad citizenry would have been a better outcome (except for Microsoft and WP8 owners, of course)

An eye for an eye is a bit extreme, but fear of retaliation is an important component of balanced societies; see e.g. The cold war or the Stanford prison experiment. It's time Microsoft start behaving less like.a psychopath bully and more like a member of society.
