MS and Barns & Noble new tablet

If MS spends a Billion or so subsidizing the e-books, they could really GRAB market share from Ipad until Apple sues, then they say mea culpa but still have the market share.

From another article, linked in the one you posted:

As part of the deal, Barnes & Noble and Microsoft have also settled their patent litigation, and moving forward, Barnes & Noble and the new subsidiary will pay Microsoft royalties for its Nook e-reader and tablet products.

Pardon me, but: %*&#$%@!

Yet another Android OEM is forced to pony up cash for "protection."
