Microsoft Trying To Block Vendors From Using Android?

DigiTimes, again citing anonymous industry sources, claims Microsoft is charging royalty fees to prevent Acer and Asustek from using Android in netbook and tablet PCs.

Microsoft plans to impose royalty fees on Taiwan-based vendors of Android handsets for using its patents in e-mail, multimedia and other functions, with Acer and Asustek Computer being targets in an actual attempt to prevent the two vendors from adopting Android and Chrome OS for their netbook and tablet PCs, according to Taiwan-based makers.
