Thanks to a patent agreement announcement released Thursday, Microsoft let it slip that LG may be working on a Chrome OS-based notebook or similar device. Doh.

ChromeOS and LG aren't even mentioned in the same sentence by MS. They must be related cause mentioning ChromeOS and Android together is just retarded.

What's the point? Google literally gave away those notebooks and yet adoption rate is in the single digits.

Thank you for providing an interesting topic here. A while ago, I came across an article connected with the issue. It was entitled "LG latest Android user to license patents from Microsoft". It stated there that LG is the most recent system producer to sign an agreement with Microsoft to license its patents, and the said company is the eleventh manufacturer using Android or Chrome OS platforms to sign a deal with Microsoft. The move is intended to stay away from future lawsuits from the software giant. However, criticism has been noted. According to TechCrunch, Google has categorized Microsoft’s methods as “pure extortion.” Now, do you think this will be beneficial? If so, will the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? In my opinion, some patents are worth defending, some aren't. But, I like seeing the companies work hand in hand, because its how business should run.

Micro$oft is nothing more the a corporate thug bullying innocent Linux vendors to pay them exhortation money for questionable yet undisclosed patents... the US Patent system needs a major overhaul to get rid of thugs like Micro$oft!

SO i guess when MS license patents its BAD but when Google bans iPhones in Germany with patents and doesn't license patents its good...
