Didn’t know about the MS/Apple thing, thanks.

When it was time to sell, Microsoft pocketed a sweet $550 million, making it more than a three-times multiple.

I hardly think this could be considered “helping” Apple.

I’m saying that one of the reasons Google shovels money in their direction is to stop regulators from having a reason to take a closer look at Chrome’s dominance.

I really don’t think they do. And the contracts reflect as much.

Regardless, none of this has anything to do with my point that no companies have an obligation to help their competition, which you’ve already agreed with, so maybe I’m missing your point.
