The problem with Microsoft wasn't really that they were trying to be a monopolist. It was that they were using their leverage to do harm. So far I have not seen Google ever try to force a purchase by tying parts of their system together, ever try to break the web to protect their business model, ever try to lock out the competition by means other than being better and cheaper, or ever sell users out contemptuously as soon as they had control.
