Except it Google that morphed the Web into ChromeOS, with the help of EVERYONE that ships it alongside their applications, as they can't be bothered to learn cross-platform frameworks.

Many of them people that used to complain about Micro$oft and should know better.

Anyone who was around for the IE6 era knows how much worse it was than the current Chrome era. It's not even close.

Born in the 70's, coding since 1986.

Started with DOS and became a Windows programmer. If it's OK to submit false statements, then why not add one more.

Yes I know how it was, and MS bullshit hate doesn't help, while worshiping how Google and Apple have taken over the Web and mobile devices.

Why are you posing criticizing MS vs Google as a dichotomy? Both are a piece of shit, MS even to this day. nabla9 is absolutely right, read the history.

Because many MS bashers are hypocrite in the way they worship Google and Apple, while doing most worse, succeeding where MS failed.

Nothing from here to the parent post suggests any defense of Google. It's you who brought it up.

You clearly don't remember or know about how bad it was in IE6 era and before.

Just two things:

- Active X.

- VB6, OLE, VBA macros and friends.

Merge both. Now you have a propietary hell full of vulnerabilities.

Said this, I don't like Google's world dominance on the smartphones/web/email/chat/maps/video platforms, neither.

*Apple it's just sucessful in the US.
