Its too long to cross post, but it's well written and interesting. Maybe Google finally found the formula to combat MS' anti trust methodology for crushing the competition.

lol I can just see the next OS made by M$ coming out with a "bug" that blocks access to Google though IE.

No doubt, suddenly windows default hosts file redirects google to 127.0.0.1 like one of their patches did with Netscape in the 90s.

I can so see it too. I am still waiting for MS's next disaster release (XP 64).

I find it very amusing that MS is worried about Google and that there is nothing they can do about it.

You don't find Microsoft in the situation where they can't get their way very often. Everytime is like a little slice of heaven and causes Bill Gates the unnerving idea that he can no longer wipe his ass with 10,000,000.00 and has to settle for 9,999,999.00.
