No Googling please, we're Microsoft users

Really... so Google adds the beginnings of their 'AutoLink' feature into their new Toolbar, and everybody starts pointing fingers and shouting 'anti-competitiveness'. Good, because if Microsoft can't get away with that kind of thing (they call it extended Smart Tags, in the up and [never] coming Longhorn) then neither should Google. Google says that the companies that are currently benefitting from direct linking on the Auto Link service aren't paying them (eg. Amazon.com), but does that really make a difference. Come on Google.
