Sendo vs. Microsoft: The Truth Comes Out

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the following-up dept.

igotmybfg writes "The Register has a story which includes many details about the phone maker's Texas suit against the software giant. It seems that Microsoft had much more to gain from letting its partner fail than helping it to succeed: in the event of a bankruptcy, Microsoft acquired all of Sendo's intellectual property related to the z100 Stinger SmartPhone, and was then free to do whatever it wanted, which in this case turned out to be going behind Sendo's back and making a deal with Orange SPA." Read our original article about this to get more background information.

    Business is about making money.

    If you want to know the nitty gritty details about the goings on behind the scenes of your typical American business, please don't be surprised if it's not some kindergarten style smile-'n-kiss-your-ass-routine.

    Business is tough, tactful, and not for the weak of heart or stomach. But, there are some big gains to be made for those who can play the game.

    That said, dealing in bad faith is something that is tortous. I hope Sendo recovers the stars the moon and the sky from these bastards.

    That's crap, though. If you read the article, they're basically suing MS because MS won't give them more money.

    That's like suing your parents after they pay for the first five years of college and then refuse to pay for year six.

    M$ usually makes me sick, but now my bludy stomach has exploded. There are guts all over my workstation,the floor and the keyboard.

    I wish I could say that this behaviour does not suprise me, but ... it DOES. This is an evil sick horrible cheap trick from the wolfs at m$.

    Even forcing Bill Gates to use a Linux workstation for the rest of his (short) live without giving him the root password isn't enough for this outragious crime.

    Thank you M$ for proofing ones again that you are marketering assholes instead of a software company

    Of course a spellchecker is worthless when you are an idiot.
