They are not as competent at sherlocking as Amazon.

What a wonderful verb; thanks for relieving my ignorance. ISTM Amazon misses out on some aspects of the idiomatic definition, since they failed to popularize their own brand of client machines with an OS they control.

I think the original Netscape folks would disagree with your assessment of M$ sherlocking competence.
