Google Drops Cloud Lawsuit Against US Government

jfruhlinger writes "A year ago, Google sued the U.S. government because the government's request for proposals for a cloud project mandated Microsoft Office; Google felt, for obvious reasons, that this was discriminatory. Google has now withdrawn the suit, claiming that the Feds promised to update their policies (PDF) to allow Google to compete. The only problem is that the government claims it did no such thing."

Well, then...

[mat catastrophe]

It appears Google's Jedi mind tricks won't work on the US government.
