It is just an old fashioned protection racket. Nothing else. If your business does not pay up, we will send in our thugs and destroy your business. Just normal business here in the USA. |

Once,... just once,... I'd like to see M$ take on a little guy who won't take it & has the war chest to take them on and invalidate their bogus patents. And before you ask, "why just once??"... Because,... after the bully gets a bloody nose, all the kids stand up to him, afterwards. |

"Little guy", "with a war chest" tend to be mutually exclusive. |

Quoting:Once,... just once, It already happened twice, Motorola and Barnes & Noble Nothing happened so far and it looks like MS is going to drag it for ever while signing contracts with others. With all contracts being undisclosed, there is no way to learn about the details. But, It sure looks like that MS is some how paying off those who are signing. I guess we have to wait until Google completes its purchase of Motorola electronics to get some real action. |
