At Google’s antitrust trial, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said Google’s search engine is dominant because of its deals making it the default option across devices.
WASHINGTON, DC - SEPTEMBER 13: Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO, departs the Senate A.I. forum with industry leaders during a break in Washington, DC. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella argued Google’s search engine is dominant because of deals locking it in as the default across smartphones and computers, as he testified in an antitrust trial that could affect the balance of power between the two Silicon Valley giants.
Under questioning by Justice Department attorney Adam Severt, Nadella said that search was the largest software category “by far,” which is why Microsoft has persisted despite its low market share. Nadella said they have been hanging on in case something changes in the search landscape, giving them a better chance.Before Nadella succeeded Steve Ballmer as Microsoft’s CEO in 2014, he had headed Microsoft’s efforts starting in 2007 to build a rival search engine to Google’s.
