“It’s not illegal to have a monopoly,” EFF’s @mitchstoltz told Vox about Google. “But it is illegal to leverage one’s monopoly power to maintain that monopoly, basically to stay a monopolist by means other than simply having the best product.” vox.com/technology/387375/goog…

This actually sounds more like a fitting description of #Microsoft: products so awful, it hurts.
NB: not saying that to defend Chrome. I don't want to use that either.

It's like saying that owning a gun is OK, but using it to shoot people is illegal. Come on, where there are guns, there will ALWAYS be shootings. Guns serve only one purpose, you can't use them any other way, so the problem is guns themselves.
It's exactly the same with monopolies. Their misuse of power is merely a symptom. The problem is power itself; no entity should be allowed to have so much of it in the first place.
