Microsoft complains about manufacturers not paying patents for selling Android devices

Microsoft love? Linux

We already know that Microsoft makes huge amounts of money from the patents it charges even on devices that come with Linux. Proof of this is that more money came in from patents charged to devices that were sold with Android than with its own operating system Windows Phone that turned out to be a total failure and absolute. The truth is that Microsoft does not stop in this type of actions to collect for patents.

But there are times when it is news for certain movements both to one side and the other. This time it is one of those news that annoys Microsoft and that could hurt the community as well. It turns out that Microsoft is supposedly complaining that some providers of Android and ChromeOS devices they are not paying patents to the company. In fact, we already know that Microsoft said before the court in the trials related to these issues that: «Foxconn didn't report Android quotas for years«.

So when some say that Microsoft loves LinuxThat is to say, that he loves him, he really loves the money he is making thanks to him, since this supposed love does not demonstrate it with facts, but rather the opposite. This is more like a toxic love than an idyll, because with the judicial issues and the collection of patents they will not want us to think that it is a healthy relationship, no matter how much they inject money into the Linux Foundation, etc., since that does not It is for the benefit of open-source or Linux, but it is something because they are interested in selling certain Linux-based devices, etc.

And while all this soap opera continues ,, Microsoft and Xiaomi, let's remember that it is one of the leading Chinese Android-based device vendors, come together to share technologies to create hardware, artificial intelligence projects and the cloud. Among the agreements, that the Xiaomi home assistant or smart speaker accessory, such as the one that Apple, Amazon (Alexa / Echo) or Google already have, also have Cortana or make use of Azure ... Things that happen in the business world !!

    Microsoft loves Android, not GNU / Linux, which is different. Things to see, now it turns out that Microsoft is Google's new advocate!
