The best selling Android phones are no cheaper than Windows phones, yet customers seem to be happy to pay real money for them. GMail can easily compete on quality with any mail client at any price. Many businesses are quite willing to pay for Google docs. Chrome is gaining market share because it's better than anything else. Google's crappy products have met with the failure they deserved.

Google is the only tech giant that doesn't see tech as a zero-sum game and this scares the shit out of the old guard. The louder they scream and point fingers the more obvious it is how threatened they are by a competitor that's willing to compete on open standards.
