Google Complains About Microsoft's Vista

Isn't this funny? Google complains about Windows Vista. Apparently, Google states that Vista is hampering desktop search applications, like their Google Desktop. So they have filed a lawsuit against Microsoft. I really cannot imagine being Microsoft with all these lawsuits. It's no wondered they turn out mediocre products. Their time and money is being spent in lawyer services!
If you are thinking of going with Vista, it doesn't beat out Windows XP and there are still many drivers that are not yet available for it. I'm sure in time it will be a better operating system, but for now, it's got some issues. I know I been there and done that. Wasn't fun, needed drivers and was told sure later this year. Not cool!
