Microsoft has long thought that they had a god given right to be the only non-hardware technology company. They've always taken the approach that if they can't beat a competitor by copying their product then they'd buy them, or in this case turn to the government to "protect" their god given turf.

They knew search at once, they now know ad services.
Google has bought up it's share of companies, to enhance the above (ads), picasso, grand central...up to this point, what has Google really done other than develop an ad network?
MS could do the same and piss people off but MS caters more to Corporate Dollars.
Google, MS, ATT, Verizon, Yahoo...
"Google should just be told to shut up and go home and work on fixing their own products." Wait...they don't need to...everything is in beta and what isn't is someone else's programming.....sorta sounds like M$
