Bizarre headline grabber.
They ain't even brought out their phablet yet, there simply ain;t any rush if they are grabbing the billions selling the wrong product!
Of course sales of tablets will die next year but giving consumers options is not the way to long term fortune.
They might just opt out.
An interesting question considering Apple has also played the race card on this one.
Its was also very funny race card appointing Koh in the first place. Unlike others, she continually has to prove her impartiality whilst also proving she is 'American'. Koh cannot win on that one yet rightly gets ridiculed.
Windows full stop is "dangerous ground".
You really can't go somewhere you already belong.
From most dangerous to least we have Windows, OS/X, IOS, Android and then Linux.
Yet Android is the pet sheep project for our media. I really wonder why.
As an optional subscription service those 'opting in' well end up paying same money for half the service.
The problem being that with half the service even more may drop out so you could then end up at 'pay double' for half the service.
Of course the top brass will find it attractive for its 'big bucks bonus culture'.
"But an unnamed complainant in the case told The Register that serious niggles remained because competitors were still required to pay Google for inclusion in some of Google's results."
Seems a solution to auction off 3 lots of ads. That other problem of Google being the best and staying so through gravity of users is a whole different issue. Microsoft once had gravity, Amazon maybe does and likely so does Facebook.
Microsoft's claims are mainly negative marketing, MS themselves are guilty of real monopoly abuse.
Yet natural gravity also does means Google have a monopoly in results driven search.
That is the problem and not abuse. Microsoft are simply feeling abused via Chromebooks, Android and Google search.
Most marketing has gone into promoting older chips at ARMS expense.
With little take up of the much faster Cortex A15, ARM themselves got forced to go backwards in launching the likes of the A12.
As supposed partners of big American corporations they certainly look a bit brow beaten.
Pardon the language but simple software solution that have been actioned by most software engineers are now getting patented.
Even worse is the fact that new media calls it an 'invention'.
NO, it is just an extremely corrupted patent system.
You software engineers are going to be patented into oblivion !
