For a little over a year Microsoft has been extracting license fees from HTC for their use of Google's Android operating system, on the basis that Android infringes several of Microsoft's patents. While their claims have yet to be tested in court, Microsoft has been dangling the threat of lawsuits in front of other Android manufacturers, including Motorola and Barnes & Noble.

Microsoft, impeccably timed bunch that they are, held two Windows 8 first-look events within hours of one another on different sides of the globe. First, Windows President Steven Sinofsky took the stage at the D9 conference in California to unveil the new OS, then just a few hours later Microsoft held a partner preview at Computex in Taipei.
Qualcomm managed to confuse and confuddle press at its Computex briefing on Monday, as the firm displayed slides showing MeeGo logos alongside other “supported OSes”.
On the afternoon of June 1st, Microsoft VP Steve Guggenheimer will take the stage for a Windows lovefest where it’s rumored we’ll see the first glimpse of the company’s upcoming Windows 8 operating system (OS) running on tablets.
Microsoft has hit back at allegations from Intel that the four versions of Windows ARM would not run existing PC programs and would offer a poor experience to users.
“I’ll take your iPad and raise you 10” – seems to be Intel Corp.’s message to tablet hungry consumers, as the firm readies itself for the launch of almost a dozen new devices running on its own Atom chips at Computex, Taipei.
A few months ago Microsoft Corp. announced that they were building a version of Windows to run on ARM architecture, the kind found in system-on-a-chip silicon used by smartphones, tablets and other portable devices. Around a month ago Microsoft surprised attendees at their MIX developer conference in Las Vegas by demoing an apparently fully-functional version of Windows on ARM architecture.
Early this morning Microsoft went official with news that has been rumoured for the last 24 hours - they have saved up their pocket money and are using it to buy Skype, the ubiquitous VoIP service, for a cool $8.5 billion. Other suitors such as Facebook and Google has also been in the mix, but it would seem Microsoft have reached deepest in order to secure the deal.
Over at Microsoft Corp.'s MIX Developer Conference in sunny Las Vegas, Microsoft has demoed a new preview build of Internet Explorer 10, and also dropped a little premature Easter egg – the build of IE10, and the underlying Windows OS, were both running on a 1 GHz ARM chip. Sneaky.
We get it – application stores are cool. With the two biggest games in town, Apple Inc.'s App Store and Google Inc.'s Android's Market both running in to several hundred thousand apps and making developers millions of dollars, it only seems natural that others would want to irk the successful formula.
