Well If I wanted to not have google as my default service provider I would look at a different platform. Also If I want to add other apps the best thing about an open source os is you can. If anyone is to blame its Bing search for its crappy results, Yahoo maps for its lack of updates and lack of an android app for that matter, and Microsoft for is own crappy mail service."A Bing search bar on your Android home screen? Yahoo Maps replacing Google Maps? Microsoft Outlook instead of Gmail?"------------------Is that a bad thing? Why can't people have a chose which product to chose from.
What if Microsoft said that from now on our OS will only run on Microsoft made and designed chips, would you be OK with that?
If the Commission decides that Google has been similarly abusive regarding Android, it could force Google to make drastic changes in how the Android OS is installed and configured on handsets, just as, years ago, it forced Microsoft to limit the preinstallation of Internet Explorer on Windows PCs.
I'm not convinced by this case against Google. But the case against them because of Google search results prioritizing Google products over competitors is legitimate in my opinion.
As for criticizing the EU for being slow, it's generally been faster in the tech area than the American system. The Intel Pentium 4 lawsuit just recently got resolved.
Screw the eu. Andriod is free and open.
