asked readers several months ago which Linux vendor would be up coming to ink a patent-protection offer with Microsoft similar to the one particular Novell inked very last November. out it wasn't any of the usual suspects. Instead,office Professional Plus 32bit, both Fuji Xerox — and now Samsung — quietly have signed deals that "allow" them to sell their products without the threat of a Microsoft suit claiming patent infringement by Linux on Microsoft Windows and other products hanging over their heads. there's been far less outcry over Fuji Xerox's and Samsung's decisions to admit the possibility of patent infringement by Linux than there was when Novell signed its patent-protection clause with Microsoft. The fact that neither Fuji Xerox nor Samsung are Linux distribution vendors might account for the difference. Or maybe Microsoft learned its lesson with Novell and has (at least temporarily) managed to gag CEO Steve Ballmer before has a chance to throw gas on the patent-infringement fire with these latest deals. to admit I'm surprised Linux-based vendors are signing on the dotted line. What's Microsoft showing/telling them to get them to do so? expect Microsoft to be able to continue to convince additional consumer electronics,cheap office Professional Plus 2010, software and system vendors to sign deals that include clauses that admit the possibility that Linux might infringe on Microsoft patents?
