Google, otherwise known as the search engine we all known and love, has recently filed a complaint against Microsoft for allegedly designing the Vista operating system to discourage the use of the Google search engine.

The U.S. Justice Department, finding the matter just as ridiculous as we all might, has taken Microsoft’s side, choosing to reject the formal complaint. According to the New York Times, the action demonstrates that nearly a decade after the U.S. government began its landmark effort to break up Microsoft, the Bush administration has changed course by defending the company against accusations of anti-competitive conduct.

Modifications are said to already be underway, so Google will be expected to make a return in the Vista operating system.
