Court sides with Microsoft in Google search rift

Google got a thumbs down today on its last-minute effort to inject itself in the Microsoft antitrust compliance proceedings.

Instead, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly said Google should take its complaints to the Department of Justice.

Google has objected that Windows Vista desktop search is configured to favor Microsoft over other desktop search rivals. Microsoft responded to Google's complaints last week in a deal approved by the DoJ and the states.
