Ubuntu based Linspire signs Microsoft deal
LinuxLinspire Inc. has signed a deal with Microsoft. What is the world coming to? The article seems to be making the situation a little more amiable that I think it probably really is. First Novell then Xandros...Microsoft is on the hunt, which distro/company is going next?
From the article on Yahoo.com:
"Under the agreement, Linspire will license Microsoft code related to Voice over Internet Protocol, Windows Media files and TrueType fonts. With the addition of the Microsoft code to Linspire's operating system, users will be able to voice-chat with Windows Live Messenger buddies, watch Windows Media video and audio files on open-source media players, and view and create documents using familiar typefaces.
Linspire also agreed to set Microsoft's Web search engine as the default on PCs that run its operating system."
Like, the whole claim by Microsoft that the Samba project is stolen code. (The Samba team is responsible for software that enables Linux systems to use and provide Windows-compatible file and print servers.)
