Xandros celebrates Microsoft union with patents

Xandros is licensing key communications protocols from new best friend Microsoft on email and collaboration - areas where they compete.

 

The open source specialist will implement Microsoft's ActiveSync and Outlook-Exchange Transport protocols, enabling over-the-air synchronization of email and calendaring between mobile devices and servers, and improved communication between email on Windows clients and Xandros's Scalix server.

 

More at The Register.

More classic reporting from the Register - complete speculation with no quotes or substantiation.

 

When is someone going to close that site down?

 

Um. Take a look at this Xandros press release:

http://www.xandros.com/news/press_releases...laboration.html

 

Or this microsoft press release:

http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2...xInteropPR.mspx

 

And the quotes in the body of the article, and the paraphrased sections.

 

Besides, how dare you suggest shutting them down, they publish the BOFH! :P http://www.theregister.co.uk/odds/bofh/ - which alone makes them worthwhile, regardless of some of the other trash they publish

Did I say that the news surrounding Xandros wasn't accurate? No - I said it was badly reported; no quotes, etc. That's their modus operandi - sometimes they get the news right, mostly they get it wrong - but they ALWAYS report it atrociously. Without supporting quotes and the like all you are doing is speculating... correctly or not.

As I said, they did quote and paraphrase the press releases.
