Google explained yesterday how it would fend off possible antritrust concerns following an ad-sharing deal with Yahoo. In addtion, Google noted the irony in Microsoft's complaints.

Google has had a monopoly on search for quite awhile now, and has used their monopoly on search to gain market dominance in the internet ad market.

Just because they have been able to dodge the monopoly stick for this long doesn't mean its not going to happen. They need to be very careful about moves like this, or they are going to learn how fun it is to gain monopoly status.
