Here's a rant (I haven't read it yet):

My first impression is that this is *low* for MS, and if they busy themselves with trying to bully the competition into giving them money rather than actually innovating, then I wish them a swift and direct path to the bottom.

Again, this is a viewpoint based on a position of ignorance, so even I take it with a cup-or-two of salt.
OMG I loooove that picture. >=)

But this is nothing new for MS. They're just doing the same old "every PC sold MUST pay MS, because PC's sold without an OS are CLEARLY being used to pirate our OS" mentality. They're just extending it to the handset market by effectively saying that there's GOT to be something they're stealing. They won't say WHAT with specificity but they MUST be! I wish HTC didn't just roll over so easily. Maybe, should Google get involved?
