Comment Comment by beagle3 Potentially far worse - but Google did not yet stop progress for 10 years in multiple fields the way MS did.They sucked the air out of advertising (in cooperation with Facebook) leaving none for others. But I consider that a small loss.Microsoft did that for operating systems, productivity software, stalled the web with IE6, and more.Google is capable of much more damage, for sure. But they haven’t done that damage just yet. parent beagle3 6 years ago
