When Microsoft sought help from Samsung to take on Google and Apple

Executives from Microsoft and Apple have been called to testify in the ongoing antitrust trial against Google. Microsoft vice president Jonathan Tinter revealed that the company tried to persuade Samsung to use its Bing search engine as the default on its smartphones. However, Samsung executives were unwilling to make the switch due to their partnership with Google. Tinter’s email to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella also indicated that Samsung did not want to upset its relationship with Google.
