“Burning The Ships”: IP And The New, Open Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| IPW: Does the recent case involving TomTom navigational devices and
| open-source software - in which Microsoft sued over patent infringement and
| TomTom sued back - represent the kind of business environment Microsoft
| promotes? Why or why not?
|
| PHELPS: What happened here and has happened on a very few cases, is that MS
| had great difficulty getting attention from TomTom and was forced into
| action.

TomTom Settlement Aftermath: Get the FAT Out - Updated

| Ah, yes. Mono. Once again. And OOXML. Might governmental agencies wish to
| particularly take note of OOXML in light of the TomTom settlement? I would
| think so. And .NET and Silverlight. Perhaps you can think of others.

| Wake up. Microsoft should be treated like Microsoft.
|
| It is what it is. It is what it always has been.
|
| Microsoft asked recently to be judged by its actions, not its words. OK. The
| TomTom settlement *is* Microsoft actions. We watched it, and we judge them by
| it.
