Just because a court says something doesn't mean it is reality. At all.

Likewise can we all please give the open farce of abuse of the word "monopoly" to rest?

A court is a third party that is more objective than a Google employee. That is why I mentioned it.

Google is a great service (that I love and use daily by choice) but they also spend a lot of money to make sure they are the default search provider. They have more means than smaller search companies and they use those means to achieve almost total market share. Then Google used their vast market share to skew business in their favor. That is almost the textbook definition of monopolistic behavior.
