| In a major shift of policy for the software giant, Microsoft Corp. has said it would allow computer makers to set rival search engines such as Google to be set as the default search engine in its upcoming versions of its Windows operating system. The company has also vowed it would employ guidelines to allow competition and be transparent as it develops new versions of its software. The company said it would continue to follow the guidelines even after most portions of its U.S. antitrust settlement expire in November of next year. In May, the software giant agreed to a two-year extension of a key part of its U.S. antitrust settlement. U.S Justice Department officials also found that a new search feature which is embedded in the latest version of Microsoft's Web-browsing software wasn't anticompetitive. |
