---- Microsoft Files Complaint With EU Commission Over Google's Dominance

Yes, Microsoft is a dubious source for this sort of gripe. But for me, there was one particular element of validity. "You go there of your own volition," @incrediBILL? Perhaps so, in some ways. Google comes as the default SE on all browsers I've installed. It takes some effort to shift to a different default SE. (Quid-pro-quo for Google and the browser writers, of course.)

So I don't look at this as a matter of "You go there" but more a matter of "You try to go away from there." (Or as Google tries to call it, "Another SE is just a click away." Well, er, several clicks.)

[Edit: and maybe my older iPod Touch is different from the more modern ones, but its Safari won't accept Bing as a default SE - the choice is Google or Yahoo.]
