Relying on mass deception using the media while blackmailing companies behind closed doors

Summary: Luna Mobile has just been extorted by Microsoft (using dubious software patents, as usual) for using Android/Linux, but Microsoft-influenced media carries on spreading the lie that "Microsoft loves Linux"

RED HAT'S own event has just been hijacked by Microsoft again (see articles below along with the comments) and Microsoft used Red Hat's platform to call its proprietary (Open Core) platform "Open Source", to say it "loves Linux" (the infamous old lie), and so on. On the other hand, Microsoft's own booster Mary Jo Foley says that "Microsoft signs Android patent-licensing deal with Luna Mobile". She insists that "Microsoft has signed an Android patent deal with Luna Mobile, even though its announcement of the arrangement never mentions the word 'Android'."

Yes, so much for love. It must love all that 'protection money' it is silently amassing. ⬆
