Windows Vista still leaves land for Google

In a commitment released on July 19, Microsoft announced it would allow computer manufacturers to default to Google or other non-Microsoft search engines in the Windows Vista version.

However, it seems that Microsoft will still integrate search services that compete with Google into Windows Vista. This led observers to worry that both might fall into a legal battle like the Microsoft-Netscape "browser war" that broke out in the late 1990s.

Brad Smith, senior vice president of Microsoft, said the company is committed to creating a "seamless" system that allows open competition between software developers and computer manufacturers, and creates many choices. choose for customers.
