SocraticGadfly: Will Google get the 'full Microsoft" from EU?

Will Google get the 'full Microsoft" from EU?

Actually, I kind of hope Brussels DOES lower the boom on Google in its antitrust investigation; it seems to be becoming more and more the new Microslob.

Given that Google is even more dominant in the EU than in America, it needs to be very careful. Add in the Google Street View fiasco, and it needs to downright contrite.

Microslob never was, and, it learned that the EU, unlike the US of A, wasn't such a regulatory pushover. Did Google take notes? Or will it actually believe its "Do no evil" bullshit moniker? Will it believe that Brussels will believe it?
