Image via CrunchBaseTechRadar: Google declares war on Microsoft and Apple over Android Google has openly declared war on Microsoft and Apple, with the internet giant claiming that a "hostile, organized campaign against Android" is being waged through "bogus patents"....... the first shots of a war between the highest profile technology companies on the globe. ...... Whether that's with the purchase of patents, huge investment in products (ie Microsoft's Windows Phone 7) or by marketing – it is clear that nobody can pretend that it is good-natured rivalry that is spurring on a now vicious battle.Eric Schmidt On The Case
Android Has To Be Kept Free
Microsoft And Oracle Misbehaving On Android
The short term victory would be to see that Android stays free, that manufacturers are not having to pay Microsoft - Darth Vader - a dime. The long term victory would be to see the ridiculousness of software patents in general go away.
