That's a different reason then saying you dislike them because everyone uses them (your first answer)

Not really... Their actions in my mind are linked to their market dominance. If they were not so dominant they would not act in such an annoying fashion. I don't mind Microsofts market dominance (If thats your next point) because they give a lot of money to charitable causes and because my disabled friend benefits from their excellent voice recognition software built into Windows Vista 64.

Did I just hear you say that you don't think MS takes advantage of there Market Share?

Nope. All Monopolies, Oligopolies take advantage of their market share. In this case Googles actions go against my personal beliefs and as a free agent in the economy I voted with my feet.

@Liquidlynch: Nope im not joking. I switched to Bing.

Well, what I think is really going on, is you're an MS fanboy who is excited they have a cool search engine now. If you really felt like your talking about, you would have been using any of a dozen other search engines to begin with, and not google.

When Bing fail's (like the last 2-3 attempts from MS), I suggest Yahoo if you don't like Google.

P.S. I still like ya, and still using the PC you speced for me, but your full of shit in this thread :p

Funny thing is that I don't have an Xbox 360 at the moment, I lent my console long term to a friend and my other Xbox 360 died. I actually prefer Google to any other search engine because its better and easier to use. I have this anti-Yahoo sentiment from when I first started using the internet, I don't know why but their homepage really annoyed me for some reason and I've held a grudge against them for over 10 years.

Im glad you like the PC.

Btw: I've decided I was too much of a fanboy and im trying to mend my ways! Its too much cognitive dissonance thinking one way and acting another for the fun of it. If you saw my posts recently you'd have seen that I actually said that Sony won E3 in spite of my love of Natal.



Tease.
