Summary: BlackBerry maker is said to have signed a FAT-related deal with the abusive monopolist

The increasingly struggling RIM is said to have recently signed a patent deal with Microsoft -- one that helps traitors like Tuxera tax Linux through exFAT and similar file systems. This is legitimisation of FUD.

Tuxera and Novell are similar in this regard. RIM, unlike TomTom, did not take this to court and it's likely to have stooped low for Microsoft because those two companies signed some deals before, e.g. Bing search and map.

"This is legitimisation of FUD."Microsoft uses those deals to extort Google/Android backers including Samsung. Speaking of Bing and extortion, watch what Microsoft is foolishly doing: "A series of monumentally sloppy, automatically generated takedown notices sent by Microsoft to Google accused the US federal government, Wikipedia, the BBC, HuffPo, TechCrunch, and even Microsoft Bing of infringing on Microsoft's copyrights. Microsoft also accused Spotify (a music streaming site) of hosting material that infringed its copyrights. The takedown was aimed at early Windows 8 Beta leaks, and seemed to target its accusations based on the presence of the number 45 in the URLs."

Here is another set of good rebuttals to that. Microsoft has gone insane with so-called 'IP'. ⬆
