This is why I'll always remain a Microsoft skeptic: As its leadership has changed, so, too, has Microsoft. But I am never going to stop being skeptical of Microsoft's motives.

Google's Antitrust throwdown: Google's antitrust throwdownWell...I too am unconvinced that this takeover thing is good in any sense.
