Google's complaint concerns the way Vista's Instant Search feature makes it difficult for users to opt for an alternative desktop search product. Microsoft recently reached an agreement with the governments involved in the antitrust case to make some changes to accommodate software like Google Desktop. Much like an earlier compromise over Internet Explorer, Instant Search will remain in place and active, while a user's selected third-party search tool will be given greater visibility. Google believes thus does not go far enough. It seems unlikely that the authorities will take up Google's argument, as they have only just agreed that Microsoft's proposed changes adequately address the issue of desktop search. Unless Microsoft drags its heels on the implementation of the changes, there is no obvious reason why they would change their minds.{moscomment} |
