A 160-page report that was far more complete than the FTC no doubt wanted last week was leaked to the media, clearly showcasing that the FTC staff recommended action against Google for anticompetitive practices. The FTC commissioners then decided to let Google off the hook, apparently because it made some minor changes. Because the Obama administration and Google have been especially cozy, that move gave the impression that the FTC was effectively in Google’s pocket.
Why do I like Rob Enderle? Because, while he is clearly a Microsoft supporter, for reasons he has disclosed, he doesn't gush embarrassingly over even the Microsoft products that he likes - unlike a certain Apple fanboy that blogs on this site. And when he criticizes, it doesn't sound like, "This company is the best thing since humanity discovered fire, but I have to say something negative once in a while to appear to be objective." It actually IS criticism, which is clearly based on a lot of experience and training. In short, he manages to maintain a degree of objectivity even with regard to those things he likes.
Good job Mr. Enderle. I enjoy reading your blogs. ;)
