Loading ...Google wants more Vista changes
Google Inc. said today that it wants federal and state regulators to press Microsoft Corp. to make more changes to Windows Vista’s desktop search and indexing tool.
Although Microsoft struck an agreement yesterday with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and 17 state attorneys general to modify some aspects of Vista’s built-in search, Google said antitrust officials should do more.
“Microsoft’s current approach to Vista desktop search clearly violates the consent decree and limits consumer choice,” David Drummond, Google’s chief legal officer, said in an e-mail today. “We are pleased that as a result of Google’s request that the consent decree be enforced, the Department of Justice and state attorneys general have required Microsoft to make changes to Vista.
“These remedies are a step in the right direction, but they should be improved further to give consumers greater access to alternate desktop search providers.”
A Google spokesman declined to elaborate when asked what additional changes Microsoft should be forced to make.
