Changing the search default
Over at CNET Dennis O’Reilly reports that the Windows Search Service on his Vista PC tried to change the default search setting from Google to Bing. Fortunately Google Toolbar noticed the change and alerted Dennis of the attempted change.
Changing a setting chosen by the user and without so much as asking the user if changing that setting is ok just to draw more traffic to a competing search engine is highly questionable. I hope the European Commission takes notice.
