"Three days later, the Wall Street Journal reported that Microsoft and spin-off Expedia are among the companies U.S. Justice Department officials have contacted during its antitrust probe into Google's planned acquisition of ITA Software. Microsoft also was vocal during hearings for Google's book-scanning settlement, and its Italian subsidiary Ciao Bing filed an antitrust complaint in Europe against Google's search practices."
