No company today has the level of consolidated power over the computing industry that Microsoft had in the 1990s. It's actually hard to imagine now, when the situation even at the very top of the industry is so much more competitive.

It's almost like saying "Donald Trump's presidency was just like Josef Stalin". Sure, there are bad things but if you seriously look at what was going on, there was just a whole different level of badness.

You're right, Google is much worse.
