MS shouldn?t talk
MS chargers a royally fee on every CPU sold with it?s OS. Now the shoe is on the other foot and MS don?t like it.

Gates made sure that at the start that every IBM based CPU running windows software would have to pay a royally fee on every system sold.

I guess old Bill Gates don?t like playing the software game innless he is making the money. GO AT&T??

Looks like everyone forgot about his ploy 20 years ago when he sold the DOS languish from Xerox and sold it to IBM as DOS 1.0.

Oh how we forget?????.
