Time for Anti-Trust 2.0?
,----[ Quote ]
| PC Manufacturer Acer is complaining that Microsoft has jacked up
| the price of Vista, and that the basic versions are so basic no one
| will ship them. Since the collapse of the Microsoft Anti-trust Case
| under the Bush Administration in 2001, manufacturers have no choice
| but to accede, adding hundreds of dollars to the cost of each PC.
| With Gates now proclaiming victory over European Regulators,
| Microsoft once again seems unstoppable. But Microsoft had drawn
| itself close to the Republican Party. With the Republicans now
| evicted from the House and Senate, is it time to look at the
| Microsoft Anti-trust Suit? Could Microsoft be compelled to
| lower its inflating Vista prices, or to open their tech or
| even supply funding to Linux-flavored Windows such as Wine?

Does Google Have Another Move in Vista Chess Game?
,----[ Quote ]
| Google's protests over the way desktop search is handled in Microsoft's
| Vista OS have so far fallen on deaf ears. A U.S. district judge denied
| Google's request to extend Microsoft's antitrust agreement with federal
| and state governments, essentially saying the matter was none of
| Google's business. The judge suggested that Google appeal to DoJ,
| which has shown no sympathy for the search giant.

Microsoft Finds Legal Defender in Justice Dept.
,----[ Quote ]
| Nearly a decade after the government began its landmark effort to break
| up Microsoft, the Bush administration has sharply changed course by
| repeatedly defending the company both in the United States and abroad
| against accusations of anticompetitive conduct, including the recent
| rejection of a complaint by Google.
|
| [...]
|
| In the most striking recent example of the policy shift, the top
| antitrust official at the Justice Department last month urged state
| prosecutors to reject a confidential antitrust complaint filed by
| Google that is tied to a consent decree that monitors Microsoft's
| behavior. Google has accused Microsoft of designing its latest
| operating system, Vista, to discourage the use of Google's desktop
| search program, lawyers involved in the case said.
