Google is not perfect, but, then, this is not a perfect world either.

On the other hand though, remember, very recently, Microsoft was convicted by the European Commission in that "it illegally bundled Windows Media Player with Windows and used its desktop monopoly to get unfair advantage in the workgroup server market."

Therefore, Microsoft, was, in fact, judged "guilty" by the Court of First Instance of the European Commission in Semptember 2007.

And, yes, Google has been sued more than a few times, but only in civil court, and not in criminal court. This is a very big difference between these two giant companies. And, sure, Google has many very high ideals about itself and what it hopes to do and they like to try to get away with as much as they can, of course and I would too if I had such a huge company to work with and, of course, like Google, I would also maintain operations within the limits of the law as much as possible. And, the key point here is that Google has never committed a criminal act of any kind. However, Microsoft did so and they were found guilty of that act and they are still guilty and forever will be, so, therefore, they are a criminal organization.
