Summary: Microsoft's patent extortion against Linux explained in a show from one week ago

SPEAKING of Microsoft "love" and promising exits, as explained either today or in the past week (Microsoft only "loves" Linux by making it Microsoft's cash cow with software patents and the exits do not constitute a change in strategy), here is a video from 7 days ago. We clipped/cropped the relevant bit (less than a quarter of the whole; the full video can be found here). [via]

An older reminder of how Microsoft does extortion and racketeering with software patents in China can be found here. ⬆
