I wonder if Microsoft but a bug in the FTC’s ear. MS hates both companies with a white hot passion. MS tried a hostile takeover of Yahoo! a while back and IIRC, it wasn’t the FTC that opposed the takeover, it was Yahoo! itself. Apple and Google have a good working relationship that MS would love to see come to an abrupt end.

Hahaha,

Oh FTC…. Remember when Microsoft had their little monopoly scandal…

To me, this is good and Apple should be proud! It is just the world’s recognition that Apple is king. These guys just have their panties in a bundle because they all own blackberries.

On top of that, why should the government dictate what these men are allowed to be involved in? I don’t think it’s about the money…they have plenty of that!

It’s not a monopoly, it’s duopoly, if anything!
