He is nothing but a hypocrite. He signed the deal therefore he has nothing to actually disagree with. The moment he signed the deal he actually agreed linux violates MS patents. Traitor !

That's what I was going to say. Maybe he just had an epiphany and realized that he is infact, a pillock.

Yeah, nevermind the language of the deal that says (paraphrased) "This agreement does not mean that there is any actual patent violation happening".

The problem is....what are they paying royalties for then? Same question to Novell.

Well, Novell was getting more money out of the deal, then they put in.

Yes indeed it is a very interesting article.

I have a bunch of articles about Xandros on my site, including an original interview: http://www.osgui.com/xandros-/5.html
