More MS-Novell type deals (none / 1) (#42)

Ran across this story by Mary Jo Foley about Fuji Xerox and Samsung both signing deals with Microsoft similar to the MS-Novell deal.

Microsoft inks more Novell-like patent-infringement deals

Personally, I have not had such a problem with the MS-Novell deal like some people. I do think the worst part of it has been the FUD opportunity it created for MS.

Can't say I'm too terribly interested in Fuji Xerox, but I do find Samsung interesting as I have an mp3 player from them. One of the reasons I picked it (and am seeking another one) is the support for the OGG format. Interestingly enough, some recent research seems to show that Samsung is starting to remove that capability from newer models - at least out of the box and in the U.S. Kind of makes me wonder what may be going on in the background, especially with regard to file formats and patents.
