I just notice that MS had publish more FUD on their so called technical blog.
To MS and Mr. Dean Hachamovitch:
[citation][nom]Mr. Dean Hachamovitch[/nom]Intellectual property is a complex topic. As it’s not an engineering topic and this is an engineering blog, the remarks here are by definition limited.[/citation]
You might limit discussion of financial topics also, because you don’t have clue about it or you think we are so stupid and not going to notice this crap:
[citation][nom]Mr. Dean Hachamovitch[/nom]Microsoft pays into MPEG-LA about twice as much as it receives back for rights to H.264.[/citation]
If three companies form a patent-pull and set the price to X for each license. So of course Microsoft will receive less then X back. X= A+B+C where the A is the pay back to MS and B+C is the pay back to other two companies. But you conveniently forget that other two companies should pay license also. And if you do 3rd grade math you will now that for the members of the pool the license cost will balance with the profits form the license royalties. The profit for Microsoft and Apple will come form the license royalties paid by non-members. Based on your statement I know that MS is receiving 50% from each non-member.

No wonder that MS and Apple are pushing H.264!

I'd still buy an Android phone over the iPhone. Android will support Flash AND HTML5.

HTML5 may be the way the web is heading, but flash still exists, so why not support it? It's not like flash is going anywhere anytime soon.

lol, what a joke, lets all forget that MS are pushing silverlight, a direct competitor to flash...
