>>> Microsoft may be unlawfully wielding its desktop dominance to put the squeeze on search engines and on document formats like Adobe Acrobat, the state of Massachusetts claimed on Friday

Hmm. How can desktop dominance put a squeeze on search engines? Considering that Google is *by far* the most used (and best, as far as I am concerned) search engine, it appears that Microsoft, if squeezing, ain't doing a good job at it..

As to Adobe, what MS format is supposed to be used in place of the pdf format? word? Doubtful.. They aren't even in the same ball park.. Bitmaps? Hah...

I agree with Microsoft.. It is vague.. Or at least what ZDNet has told us...
