I do wonder where we would be today if IBM had not used the worst possible 
processor ( because Intel could not sell it any where else ;) ) and then been 
conned into the the most restrictive operating system deal .....

Not really - as long as we do not loose OSM in a sea of 'sponsored map links' ;)
Actually I am getting pretty pissed off with the results I get for a normal 
google search. Can take a number of pages to find something actually relevant 
  to a search - even changing the words used. So I would not be surprised if a 
google map search gave me hits on the other side of the world. Just another 
example of biggest definitely not being best!
And allowing people to add their own ....
