Does this explain why MeeGo is no-fly for Nokia? Because Microsoft holds patent for Linux-kernels and MeeGo is based on that and Microsoft wants WP7... Maybe the risk wasn't worth the royalties to Microsoft...
That would make sense I think...
hoh damn scary MS conspiracy lol

If I outsource pirated DVDs for others to sell it, doesn't that make me a criminal too? Kind of like Google in Microsoft's terms?
I'm sure it's not as bad as I made it sound, I'm just making a comparison...

Now as for baning Android not without very solid evidence.And like i said before Oracle owns Linux not Microsoft

Kind of like how pirating is banned. It doesn't make sense to me that because Google isn't making money from Android sales Microsoft can't receive royalties from Google? Maybe Microsoft will sue Google last after suing all the manufacturers... so they can maximize royalties from Android. I think I would lose all remaining respect for Microsoft...
I'm not a lawyer... I don't know how this works. lol
But it seems the patent system is terribly flawed currently...

so seen as the base os is from google why is microsoft going after manufacturers then google? is it because theyr e afraid of a fight with a firm with more financial clout then themselves or is their an ulterior motive along the old familiar lines of american protectionism?
