So I just finished reading this article:

Microsoft to Alter Windows Vista

My immediate response was slight disgust. You know a ton of money is being spent on this issue. And reading all of the quotes of legal officers, attorney generals, janitors, etc each throwing in their comments…it’s a bit baffling. Then I read, “Richard Blumenthal, the Connecticut attorney general, said that as a result of pressure from the states, the Bush administration had taken a position closer to that of the states that found merit in Google’s complaint.” I have to admit, I really liked the idea of Cheney and Bush in a heated debate over Desktop Search.

In the end I asked, “Who cares”. And since I was alone I had to answer myself. “Microsoft and Google cares dummy.” And then it all made sense.

Usually I’m not one to use my blog to rant about real world situations, (just stupid things that make no sense), but immediately after reading this article I clicked the “open my email” button in Windows Live Messenger. Of course IE opened…despite FIREFOX BEING MY SYSTEM’S DEFAULT BROWSER! The caps were used to indicate how annoyed I am by this. Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Mail (I’m testing out the app), and Foldershare are all apps that I frequently use that ignore my system default browser setting. So maybe there is something to this desktop search nonsense.
