Should I point out that when Microsoft threatened Barnes and Nobel with a patent infringement lawsuit and entered into negotiations they demanded the ability to veto future products, veto any of their features and even what hardware was included along with some other equally distasteful terms. The end result was that had B&N agreed to the terms they would have had to ask MS for permission for any new products and allow MS to make design decisions.

Thanks! It's always great to have supporting evidence. It's sadly lacking in so many place, and if you don't have support, you don't have an argument.
