"The US government has given its thumbs-up to Microsoft's search box plans for Vista, shrugging off concerns raised recently by Google. While criticizing Microsoft for its implementation of its existing antitrust accord, regulators appear satisfied with the software maker's plans for Windows Vista, including a new search box that is part of Internet Explorer 7." On a related note,
"the Justice Department is seeking to extend the term of its landmark antitrust settlement with Microsoft by two years, blaming Microsoft's slowness in providing technical documentation to rivals."

Please do tell how you arrived to this amazing conclusion of bias with a total sample size of 3 previous comments before yours in the thread? One of which I might add, was another of your comments.
Or is anything that doesn't mod up MS-bashing "strong pro-MS bias"? Or not modding down comments that senseless bash MS? Or is this a case of MS-haters knowing that most people would in fact support this decision since the complaint was so baseless, so they preemtively come out with accusations of "strong pro-MS bias"?
The modding system does seem to encourage a groupie culture, though. Post something and all of the poster's fans will be ready to mod them up regardless of what they says, and mod down anyone that disagrees.
