Office 2010 Key Now three Linux vendors won't sign

[buisness0243]

For the while,Office 2007, it had been searching like Microsoft threats (and revenue) would convince a considerable variety of Linux distribution companies to signal “interoperability and IP protection” pacts with Redmond.But as of today,Microsoft Office 2010 Professional, the “deal/no deal” count is even.Novell,Microsoft Office 2010 Product Key, Xandros and Linspire all have signed deals that Microsoft and those corporations say will protect Linux users from the threat of Microsoft lawsuits over alleged patent infringements by open-source software on Microsoft products.Executives at Red Hat,Microsoft Office 2007 Key, Canonical/Ubuntu and now Mandriva all say they have decided against signing similar deals.Microsoft officials have said they don;t have any intention of suing Linux users over the 235 Microsoft patents that the company says are violated by free/open-source software. I;d be surprised to see Microsoft sue any Linux vendors, either. The outcry and backlash would outweigh any gains the company would derive from more FUD,Office 2010 Key, in my opinion.I;ll be interested to see which Linux vendor comes forward next and signs a Microsoft IP deal … or renounces one.
