Better to steal ideas, abuse market position and pay later then to lose ground on competitors. Even if they did bundle I still think they will lose. Cheap clicks for advertisers means low commissions for publishers. There would be no incentive for anyone to swap. No one is going to use Pubcenter, even if Google allowed it.

Urgh... don't get me started on Google vs. Microsoft. Pot calling the kettle black comes to mind.

No webmaster can afford to annoy Google. All Google would have to do is spread a rumour that sites displaying Microsoft ads have been dropped. No one would ever swap. Microsoft's system is doomed already. The interface is slow, ads takes days to get approved and volumes are low. They should stick to what they know best, which is bundling with Windows. That's their last hope. Maybe Windows 7 Free Edition with built in ads. Google will crush Microsoft’s system. No webmaster can afford to annoy Google.

All I can say is 'Hurry up, Performancing Ads!' Competition is always good for the consumers because there will be no monopoly. All I can say is ‘Hurry up, Performancing Ads!’
