The thing is that where Live search is crap (really awful) Google gives good, solid, results.

It's hard to justify calling them a monopoly based on the market share when compared to lesser services....(not that I am disagreeing they could be a monopoly)

That market share comes from a combination of amazing brand value and from them, generally, being nice to users and giving us what we want... again I think it is hard to penalise a company for doing things right.

Having said that I think their acquisitions should be curbed somewhat.
