Google’s worry about IE 7.0 search box

[source]

I don’t see any reason why Google CEO Eric Schmidt has to worry about the IE 7.0 search box defaulting to Microsoft search engine. It is their product and I believe they have the freedom to set what the default settings are, and believe me they are not stealing/replacing the user settings. I’ve been beta testing the I# 7.0 from when it is available and the search box is easy to use and doesn’t move the user away from using their favorite search engine. When I first upgraded to IE 7.0, I had Google as my default search engine [read had, that was before MSN Search improved ] and the IE 7.0 installer kept my setting and when I searched from the new IE 7.0 search box, it indeed uses the Google search engine. Now, what’s there to worry for the Google CEO if this is the current scenario, he’s not losing any customers! If at all there is something to worry, Microsoft should worry about Google being the default search engine in the Fireforx search box
