As much as I want to bash Microsoft, this is a fair form of competition. Personally, I think Google should be pushing OEMs to include Google desktop, similar to how they do this with Sun Microsystems. Mozilla and Opera should be doing the same.
I think the key problem is that when dealing with users, they like to use what is set in front of them unless they deem what is set in front of them, as inappropriate. Unfortunately, only geeks and hackers are the first to be unsatisfied.
Also, I feel that because there was no inclusion of Apple in this lawsuit, that they are not being fair. Apple also is including Desktop Search in their product, and even though they are not considered a desktop monopoly, they are still using the same tactics and should be held accountable for at least a certain level of liability.
