Sony: MS already using Seattlement terms to screw us | |
|

"God, this is going to be good," we thought on spotting Sony's name on the DoJ's 'major contributions' list of public comments. Sony hasn't disappointed. This really quite sensational document opens up a new chapter in the competitive saga, and gives Microsoft a new, wealthy public opponent. Sony is the only Microsoft Windows licensee - in other words, the only Microsoft customer - who's felt brave enough to complain about the service, that the food was cold and that the menu keeps getting more expensive each time they come back. In its comment, Sony accuses Microsoft of using the Seattlement condition for a uniform Windows license (Section III.B) to renegotiate Sony's license in Microsoft's favor. Sony makes explicit its fear that: "Microsoft will use its monopoly power to force its OEM licensees to give up intellectual property rights, thus affording Microsoft the opportunity to expand its power." | ||
