A quick update on Google's works

Microsoft has officially shunned Google for its works; the company feels that power is left in the hands of too few key players. While this is a good business strategy, Microsoft fears the power that these elite individuals hold in their hands.

All hope is not lost; Microsoft, Amazon, and Yahoo are banding together to support the Open Book Alliance, what may be little more than an internet protest.

The brunt of the matter is that the legal system is even involved! Google Books and their use of out-of-print works of literature has stepped on the toes of several copyrights! The way I see it, it all boils down to Microsoft fearing new competition. Honestly, look at how many *other* acts of copyright infringement have occurred: you don't see Microsoft hounding them! I sense that a little rivalry between Internet Explorer and Chrome has worked its way into other facets of both companies.

I, for one, welcome our new Google overlords.
