Vista Gets Googled

Ahh, the good ol' antitrust word is back beckoning at Bill Gates' door. Microsoft caved to Department of Justice muscle Tuesday and agreed to let Google in it's Windows Vista desktop search feature. Presently, Vista only allows Microsoft's own search engine to power desktop search. The Department of Justice gave their ruling saying Microsoft must modify Vista so other search engine options are available to end-users. Though not a perfect solution by any means, apparently both parties agreed to its terms.
