Microsoft as a company has no obligation to play nice with other people's software. They are not in this case attempting to impair or prevent the use of 3rd party (in this case Google's software), they just made an operating system which does not work well with some software (I have Vista Home Premium, I know).
Developers should be fitting their software to the operating system, making a square peg to fit a squarehole, not complaining about how their square peg does not fit in a round hole. This almost like a tire maker suing a wheel maker because the wheel makers new wheels don't fit with the tire maker's tires.
