Google Sues The US Government For Only Considering Microsoft Solutions

Google Sues The US Government For Only Considering Microsoft Solutions : "Eric Goldman alerts us to the interesting bit of news that Google has sued the US government -- specifically the Department of the Interior, for not seriously considering Google Apps when it put out a Request for Quotation (RFQ) to handle its messaging needs. Specifically, the DOI stated upfront in the RFQ that the solution had to be part of the Microsoft Business Productivity Online Suite. Google is making the argument that this is 'unduly restrictive of competition,' and it seems like they've got a decent argument there."
