Okay, a few days back Google jumped all over Microsoft for what it claims is an unfair advantage in the Vista OS. Google claims the the software giant has made it very difficult for users to try other competing companies software for desktop or HD searches. This according to Google, breaches the 2002 antitrust settlement between Microsoft and the federal government.
Microsofts Steve Ballmer stuck his tongue out, screamed and yelled something and walked off (okay that didn't really happen, but can't you see it happening).
---Now it seems States Attorneys General may think that Google has a point. --A group of state attorneys general including Connecticut and California is now determining how to react to the claims made by Google.
In a telephone interview, Blumenthal said that he, and other attorneys general, took the allegations made against Microsoft very seriously. "We will be deciding about how to proceed later this week," he said. He said that one option was to pursue a complaint against the company in the courts. Blumenthal also said that he and others in the group have been in active discussions with Microsoft and the U.S. Department of Justice about the matter.
In a statement released by his office, California Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. said he found the complaints made against Microsoft "troubling." "I have had personal contact with industry representatives and the U.S. Department of Justice," said Brown. "In addition, my staff has been working with these parties and other interested states to resolve the complaint."
The New York Times reported that the federal government stepped in and asked the Attorney General to drop it. Why you ask? Well like I stated in an earlier post, the Govnerment uses PC's.
The Attorney General has declined to talk about the Governments request. This could be the answer to the lack of excitement in the heavyweight boxing division. Now make the Law&Oder sound!
