I would rather say it has become apparent over the last year. I say windows 8 marks the moment.

That's where Microsoft realized they needed to garner goodwill and at that point Google had so much global market share (web traffic, browsers, mobile) they could say fuck all to everything and anyone.

And they started doing just that. Anyone else remember the forced and sneaky adaption tactics that was Google+?
