Looks like there could be another Microsoft-Linux patent deal in the offing.
eWEEK posted a story a few hours ago entitled “Microsoft Gives Xandros Linux Users Patent Protection.” The story is now gone from the Web site.
My best guess? There’s some embargoed news coming some time in the next few hours. (Note: I was not put under or offered any Xandros-Microsoft embargo.)
Did Xandros sign a Novell-like patent deal with Microsoft?
Update: Looks like the story went live. Microsoft Gives Xandros Linux Users Patent Protection.
