Well, it's kind of understandable from a business perspective why google would do this. If windows devices become huge then a side effect of that will be increased bing marketshare. Remember, google is an advertising company and they need their browser to be popular as its where 95% of their income comes from.

Having said that, it's still a shoddy business practice and I hope it backfires on them.


This is a pretty uninformed opinion IMHO, as the changes only affect non-Webkit browsers such as chrome and safari.  It's just another contest of standards and has nothing to do with google wanting to kick msft in the ass or whatever.
