This gave me a chuckle. Where have we heard this sort of thing before?

--- quote ---
"Failure to act will only embolden Google to repeat its desktop abuses
of dominance as consumers increasingly turn to a mobile platform
dominated by Google's Android operating system," he added.

Android is now the dominant mobile operating system, accounting for 70%
of the market, according to research firm Gartner.

The complaint describes Google's Android operating system as a "trojan
horse", offered to device makers for free. In return they are "required
to pre-load an entire suite of Google mobile services and to give them
prominent default placement on the phone," the complaint reads.

Of course, in spite of the headline this isn't just Microsoft. See:

Yup.

But we could also observe that it takes one to know one. :-)

As they say in Dutch: With a face of steel.

(By the way, aren't we posting in a thread started by a notorious
spammer?)
