What the hell ? Has MS forgotten that Samsung sells a considerable share of their WP7 devices ? If MS has successfully pissed them, Samsung may just scrap their own latest WP7 projects.

Ashura, 06 Jul 2011That would be a smart move yes...except Microsoft does not own any rights to the Linux program... moreIs not the programming is something else....

Dunno exactly but is something inside...and is good the sue, that HTC is accepting pay that money and Samsung is looking some "discount", this means they know theres something wrong and agree to pain instead receive a full demand from Microsoft...that can be multi-millionare losses for phone companies..

So Microsoft "grab from the horns the beast"

wyatt, 06 Jul 2011apple sue samsung, microsoft sue samsung... why? bcos samsung is the best handset ard in term ... morethat's wasnty the reason...They also sue HTC and LG, the problem is the use of Linux-Kernel, since ever they was violating Microsoft patents and rights, and Android is using the same....so is not agains Samsung is agains Google but since google don't receive money they sue the ones that uses Android...Samsung, HTC, LG, and so on....

Very smart move of Microsoft, if they patent rights, no one can use it if not pay for it...is like goes against piracy...and since they are violating rights, is one kind of piracy and they pay something, not soo big, but important enough to win some money :P

That's why I said PATENTS are everything, if you own patents you win the game....

One of these days, Microsoft will sue everyone who makes anything that displays on a computer screen claiming they violated their patents in someway or another.
