March 2008. Remember the time when Microsoft bundled Explorer to Windows and the competition cried, “Antitrust!”?Ha, that one looks puny now.

Google has been bundling everything to the web.Word processor. Spreadsheet. Youtube. Gmail. Google Earth. Adsense. Adwords. Ad nauseum. Ad infinitum. And now come freebie web site edit tools, said Google’s Girouard.

This proves two things: First, Bill Gates was wrong when he once said that porting software from somewhere else for home or office use on a per-use basis would be impractical. (OK, he’s known for his predictions as well as mis-predictions.)

Second, I don’t think that Google’s effect on people around the world, e.g., the democratization of happiness, is an antitrust issue.
