As reported in Out-Law.com, State Attorney State Attorney General Thomas Reilly warned that Microsoft's proposed Longhorn operating system, which looks to employ a desktop search engine "could amount to a new abuse of its desktop dominance."
Reilly went on to claim that the 2002 settlement between Microsoft and US Justice Department is not restoring competition. He plans on investigating whether or not Longhorn's search engine inclusion would violate this agreement.
