Google has applauded the EU’s decision concerning the Browser Bailout that forces Microsoft to provide alternative options for the Windows users. Now this decision has been handed down by the EU court to make sure that Microsoft’s choke hold on the Browser market is defused, at least in Europe. First they demanded that Microsoft removed IE 8 completely from the Windows environment, to which Microsoft told them, very politely to go and do ‘something’ to themselves. Then they came out with this idea that Microsoft has to provide the user with alternative option for the user, so they may choose if they want to. Now this, to me, is like asking GM to provide Ford as an alternative to their products! It makes no sense, but I guess this is one of those “je ne sais qua” type of stuff that is hard to explain. A word of Caution: Google might be applauding the EU decision against Microsoft, but they won’t be really laughing when their ‘Search Monopoly’ will be under the scrutiny of the same court that rendered the decision against Microsoft.
