There is a bit of a difference. Google use is not forced on anyone. People just choose to go there because of its quality.
Now when you buy a PC, you have no option but Windows as an average consumer. You don't get to actively choose to support MS.

seems hypocritical

How am I being a hypocrite? They are two different things. One is a choice the other isnt.

Let me try it another way.

Going to McDonalds over other fast food places is a choice. Going to McDonalds because they are the only option for food in your area is not.

If you dont like Google, there are plenty of other options you can choose for the exact same experience

If you dont like MS, you dont have the same option for choosing another OS that is just as viable as Windows. Sure you can use Linux but you wont be gaming as much on your PC then.You wont have access to the same software.

I think that MSFT is the hypocrite.

Oh okay. My bad then. It just seems like Apples to Oranges to me.

One of the reasons I will never buy a MS console is because of their business practices in the 80s and 90s. I feel the PC market would be a better place today if they didnt dominate the OS market by dirty business practices and I would hate to see what would happen to the console market if they ever got that kind of foothold in it
