Microsoft, Google Settle Vista Complaint

0 views

The Department of Justice has reached an agreement with Microsoft that will end a complaint made by Google about a Vista feature. The Vista operating system produced by Microsoft has a feature called Instant Search. Vista users can submit a query with Instant Search to find items on the local hard drive containing those search terms.

Google felt this feature limited user choice of desktop search products, such as Google Desktop. The Bloomberg News the changes will be a step in the right direction, but need to be "improved further to give consumers greater access to alternate desktop search providers.''
