I guess that would depend on your definitions of "product", "successful" and "heavy".
Realistically if they are in a position to leverage any bundling - why wouldn't they?
But here goes, in no particular order...
Google Public DNS - Dec 2009
Chromecast - July 2013
Chromebook - June 2011
Chrome Browser - Sept 2008
ChromeOS - May 2012
Nexus 4,5,7,10 - various starting Jan 2010
Golang - 2009
Dart - 2011
AngularJS - 2009
app engine - April 2008
- x0x0 12y agoBecause leveraging bundling is illegal, if the bundled item is a monopoly, in both the US [1] and the EU. Further, leveraging their search monopoly in such a way as to juice other products is to the detriment of users: if the product deserves a given space in the search results (where deserves means would rise there without bundling), it should rise there on its own, or there is a better alternative that should have been there instead. Hence user harm. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_antitrust_law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_antitrust_law

- scott_karana 12y agoAt the very least, it's successful for Google, since they appear to be making some money from it.
