Windows Live More Powerful, A9 Ditches Google - Softpedia

Windows Live More Powerful, A9 Ditches Google - Softpedia: "The reason why Google has accused Microsoft of unfair practices seems to be related more to the latest defeat suffered by the search engine, and not by the default setting in Internet Explorer 7.

After countless battles lost on the online realm, the software giant has scored an important victory against the Mountain View company, Amazon recently dropping the Google technology for the Windows Live one.

A9 Chief Executive David Tennenhouse told the Reuters news agency that Windows Live presented a 'very interesting, powerful Web search option'.

A9 got rid on Sunday of the online leader's technology, at that date, the contract between Amazon and Google having expired.

The decision of the largest online retailer comes shortly after Google complained that Internet Explorer 7 has MSN as its default searching option."
