Lawyers said Microsoft agreed to change the operating system after Google complained that Vista made users uncomfortable when they wanted to use other software to search.
Lawyers in the lawsuit say that modifying Vista will allow users to choose the desktop search program of their choice and not slow down the computer.
As planned, Microsoft will guide Vista users to change the desktop search program. However, the company will not do all that Google requires.
Currently, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo are competing fiercely for advertising through Web search engines. In the context of desktop software being increasingly Webized, Microsoft and Google often fell into conflict of interests with each other. As a result, the two companies are constantly drawing criticism about all kinds of issues, from Google's book search feature to personal office applications.
Earlier, Google filed a lawsuit against Microsoft on the US Department of Justice. Google said that allowing the free download of the desktop search program has been slowed down by Vista. When both Google and Microsoft search programs run at the same time, the operating system will slow down significantly. Therefore, Google believes that Microsoft has violated the commitment between the two companies since 2002.
Microsoft replied that Vista still adheres to those commitments and that the company modified the operating system a lot, including changes required by Google.
In a recent interview, Bradford L. Smith, responsible for Microsoft's legal team, said the new operating system was designed very carefully to work with other software products and that There is an independent engineering team that has spent years testing Vista and its anti-competitive issues before bringing them to market.
