Microsoft to charge royalty fees to prevent Acer, Asustek from using Android in netbooks, say Taiwan makers

[Fred A. Miller]

Microsoft plans to impose royalty fees on Taiwan-based vendors of
Android handsets for using its patents in e-mail, multimedia and other

attempt to prevent the two vendors from adopting Android and Chrome OS
for their netbook and tablet PCs, according to Taiwan-based makers.
