The rapprochement between the tech giants Microsoft and Google dates back to 2015 © Anadolu Agency/GettyMicrosoft CEO Satya Nadella told a US court on Monday that Google’s dominance of the search engine market made it very hard for rivals to emerge, hitting out sharply at the business practices of his company’s archrival.
“You can call it popular, but to me it’s dominant,” Nadella told a Google lawyer during tense cross examination.The three-month trial is the biggest US antitrust case against a big tech company since the same department took on Microsoft more than two decades ago over the dominance of its Windows operating system.
“Defaults are the only thing that matters” and arguments by Google that users will easily switch to another app were “bogus,” Nadella said.Apple instead stuck with Google and receives billions of dollars every year from the search engine giant with a generous revenue sharing deal, earlier testimony has revealed.With his approaches rebuffed by Apple, Nadella said that Bing has remained a very small player.
The CEO also testified that despite some early “exuberance,” he no longer believed the emergence of ChatGPT would reshape Google’s dominance of the search business.
