Google is pressing The Federal Justice Department to extend its ruling against Microsoft’s in 2002 for its antitrust case citing that Microsoft recent, “Microsoft’s hardwiring of its own desktop search product into Windows Vista violates the final judgment”
Google who was recently in the news, reluctant to stand forward in their own claims against Microsoft saying their Vista platform was unfair to all other search engines. Google’s claimed that Vista purposely slowed down user using third party search results, and was preferential to Internet Explorer. Microsoft had agreed to alter their Vista software to make it more user friendly to other search engines but said they felt that they had adequately testing Vista prior to its release date to make sure that it would work with all programs outside of Microsoft’s platforms.
Google, acting like the red-headed step brother, continues to complain and attempt to discredit, and tarnish Microsoft, perhaps in order to ultimately better themselves.
Google, who currently is the leader of search result used by the world, seems to always attempt to decrease others productivity when they can not compete. Webmasters have recently been highly critical of Google’s new webmaster resources and guideline to webmasters in which they may now be penalizes for selling advertising from their websites.
Webmasters view this as a way to hurt our business and question, “Why is Google allowed to make millions every year selling advertising yet the webmasters, that make their business possible, will be penalized in their SEs for selling ads on their own sites.
I believe Google will soon come under close scrutiny by justice department for their own practices, and therefore calling constant attention to Microsoft will only eventually turn the spotlight back on to themselves… or so many webmasters hope.
