To point out the obvious, both Microsoft and Nokia are free
to use Android, it is their pigheadedness that makes them
uncooperative.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

| Sorry PJ, it is still not original and definitive, only really hearsay, but
interesting nonetheless.
The H I do like this
bit: Google argues that Android is an open platform that promotes
competition. The company says that device manufacturers, mobile telephony
providers and consumers themselves can decide how to use Android and which
applications to install. In the first quarter of 2013, Android had a global
market share of 75 per cent, with Apple's iOS claiming 17 per cent and Windows
Phone 3 per cent. So the 17% and the 3% are the people who continue
to harass Google and the majority of phone manufacturers in every way possible,
including patent extortion (which will become impossible when software patents
are banned, hopefully soon). The once mighty Nokia is somewhere in the 3%, which
is quite possibly decreasing.This is basically the death throes of a mortally
wounded animal, thrashing about. M$ are on the way to a self-created
oblivion, and they want to take down everyone else, out of spite. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I need to know precisely what the accusation is in order to
understand their position,
Especially as Microsoft also gives
away software at no charge or at reduced price when it suits them. They would
have to distinguish between the way that Google is doing it and the way that
Microsoft is doing it.

Sounds like Daniel
Wallace all over again, but I agree that we need more information before
leaping to judgment. ---
