I wonder if we'll see M$ sued for pushing Bing/Edge.
- Personally, I have bigger issues with this.
  
  You have a bigger problem with the slowly dying Microsoft pushing Bing on Windows than the market leading Alphabet pushing Google on Android?
  Even if you want to look at browsers, the Chromebooks are even more integrated with Chrome than Edge on Windows.
  They should be the same problem, but if one was worse based on the impact, then it should almost certainly be Google/Chrome.
- The problem is that Google is the market leader. Android has 42% of the web market to Windows' 28%.
