Trying to be the change I want to see in the world.

Whoops, I just assumed that since I used the web version on Windows, that was the only version available for windows. I had never even checked. Thanks!

Indeed. “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”—or, in this case, an unaudited automated process. Now, I’m sure the fact that it competes with one of their products meant that they were in no particular hurry to address the issue, but I’m sure the original failure was process related, not anti-competitive practices.

The other answers are great, but if I were to be a bit more laconic:

You can put Google TV in apps-only mode, which helps significantly. It’s not a perfect fix, but it’s a step in the right direction.

Thanks, I hate it
