Google is doing with their Android platform what Microsoft did when it decided to bundle IE with Windows. Funny how MS got blasted by every geek in existence back then, but nowadays it's so commonplace that companies are lauded for it.
I am not sure I understand - Microsoft was blasted because it destroyed the commercial browser market by offering a superior product for free?
No.
Microsoft was blasted because you had no choice in the matter, even if you wanted to use a different browser than IE, there was no way to make anything but IE behave well with the rest of the OS.
