I’m sick of all of the antitrust laws surrounding Microsoft. So they have a corner in a market or two. That’s an understatement, but, even so. They also created the operating system used by most of the world. If they don’t want to make their OS compatible or convenient to use with certain Google applications, that should be their perogative.

In a recent court ruling, Microsoft will not be forced to allow users to disable the default built in Windows Desktop Search in the new Windows Vista to allow users to use Google Desktop Search instead. Boo hoo Google. Maybe if you guys go and make your own OS you can build your own software into it. Microsoft is doing nothing more than smart business. Microsoft is anti-Google so why would they make their software Google friendly? It’s annoying, sure, but that doesn’t change the fact that Google has no right to demand that Microsoft make accomodations for them. That’s like crashing somebody’s party unwanted and expecting them to serve you drinks.

Nonetheless, the courts have ruled in Google’s favor due to the antitrust laws and agreements that Microsoft has apparently agreed to.
