Great point. However, it's worth mentioning that Microsoft isn't in all that much trouble from Google. They still have a virtual monopoly on the OS market, which means that the only real "threats" to Microsoft's main income source are sites like/. where people give information about and advocate the use of other operating systems.
Microsoft is being sued for something that basically amounts for false advertising over "Windows Vista Capable"...when do we get to sue for false advertising on "enhanced security features"? The only bit they enhanced was the DRM - oh, right, and the annoying pop-up factor. And I thought AOL was dead.
Seriously, Vista receives worse press than Bush. Let's take some REAL action here.
