netscape made the mistake of putting themselves in microsoft sites by trying to represent themselves as a development platform (build for the browser campaign) which ment the directly targeted microsofts dominate platform and at the same time giving microsoft the excuse to intergrate the technology into the os.
Google has been a little smarter by keeping the technology outside the platform development area. They did make the make the mistake of announcing desktop searching using the google indexing methodogy which give microsoft the right to improve their internal file searching by intergrating the search technology from msn (and vis versa)
I really hope that google does go crying to the DOJ and fights this fight in the marketplace where it belongs.
