Google Inc. has filed a lawsuit alleging that the U.S. Interior Department shut it out of bidding for a large contract, due to a preference for Microsoft Corp.’s technology, in a move that underlines the search giant’s growing competition with Microsoft in the market for Internet-based software tools.

My gut reaction to this is hey Google, you want to generate cash from govt contracts but funnel profits through off-shore entities and not pay any taxes. Of course Microsoft and security seem strange to hear in the same sentence but maybe with email it is different than the OS.
