Re: [News] British Prime Minister Claimed to be Dissing Microsoft, Praises GNUgle

Verily I say unto thee, that bbgruff spake thusly:

> Where is the Disapproval of MS bit?
> I've obviously missed something!

The Inq. are merely /inferring/ that when Brown speaks of Google's
business model vs the protectionist business model, he's actually
having a dig at companies /like/ Microsoft. The phrase "read like a
tacit disapproval" is clearly a simile, not a literal description.
