Justice Dept. Defends Microsoft Against Google

Frosty Piss writes "The Seattle PI reports that Google has complained to US antitrust officials about the hard-drive searching tool built into Windows Vista, saying that it stymies Google's similar search program. The complaint, lodged late last year, was revealed Saturday by The New York Times in a story about the Bush administration's handling of Microsoft antitrust issues. The real story, though, is not the Google complaint itself, but how the Justice Department is failing to enforce the Microsoft anti-trust decree. According to the story, Thomas Barnett, the assistant U.S. attorney general in charge of antitrust issues, sent a memo last month to state attorneys general across the nation, seeking to persuade them to reject Google's complaint."

Yes, going to services under the computer management snap-in, via right click computer -> manage, and deselecting automatic startup is far too complicated. If only there was some method to host images on the internet, so one might create a kind of screenshot tutorial this whole problem might have been avoided. Alas, best to just move eveyone to Slackware. Shut up, you're a dumbass.

Is it just me did anyone else notice that the moderators/posters seem like paid shills on this article? It just -feels- different reading the comments today, like 10,000 MS engineers realized that slashdot wasn't blocked by the corp firewall!
