Default Google in trouble

For advertising their products on their web page, WTF.

I really don't get how so many lawyers have received so much money dragging this out for five years.

This has been backed by a continuous campaign by Microsoft under the guise of Fairsearch organisation. Microsoft have been looking to clip the wings of Google, Bing can't compete without regulator help.

Reading comments around the Web, the case is relatively weak against Google. Google is the market leader because it is better than the rest. Whether google has unfairly treated advertising companies will come out in due course.

I do chuckle when Microsoft executives insist that they use Bing, simply because it is "better"

Bit pathetic, google provides a free service and advertises their own products for sale... oh boohoo

If you don't like it eff off and use another search engine.

Exactly. How about when you go to Facebook and search for something, should it give you links to Myspace?
