Chapter Linux Foundation urged to desist from supporting FAT file system to open source

. Chapter Linux Foundation Jim Zemlin, analyzing the possible consequences of conflict, Microsoft and TomTom, urged the developers to withdraw from supporting FAT file system in their products. In this case the Linux Foundation is prepared to assist in the translation using FAT products to alternative solutions.

Jim Zemlin believes that Microsoft has discredited its attempts to rendezvous with the free software community and in the future will not stop attacks on companies that use the ACT in their products. From the recent speeches by Steve Ballmer, it follows that in the areas of embedded technology, server and desktop systems, Linux is still a major threat to Microsoft. In this case the corporation is actively seeking new ways to suppress open technologies and standards that pose a threat to their business.

The agreement, signed by Microsoft and TomTom stresses the need to reform the system of software patents in the United States, as well as the current system makes it possible to exert pressure on producers, playing patents on conventional technology, do not carry the innovative fillings and do not demonstrate any new approach to solving problems.
