Re: Microsoft to Charge for FAT File System (Score 1)

article titled 'Microsoft to Ease Licensing Rules' in WSJ, quoted Microsoft's counsel, Brad Smith saying Microsoft is "open for business in terms of licensing our intellectual property" and is "applicable to all of our products" while denied of any plans of including Windows into it

i dont really see any point in microsoft going into business of licensing one or more of their 4000 patents, esp if they are to start licensing FAT for quarter per device

what do they expect ... make FAT acceptable, that is already is .... or earn $$, @quarter, i doubt it would loose loyalty of customers to open standards ... or make a point in its fight against antitrust investigations, mmmm like this OoO
