This is disappointing, especially the dig at microsoft given that until recently Google was doing the exact same thing.<p>I'm all for making a stand against censorship in China, but google is not the right party to make that call. They've been part of it themselves, and only after the relationship soured because of 'break-ins' did they change their strategy on this.<p>This is just google trying to use the media to put pressure on China so they can stay in the Chinese market without having to go through with their pull-out, and using it to make their competitors look bad as well. And that's coming form someone that has declared his house and office a microsoft free zone.
