Are Asus and Nokia equally bad at supporting software patents? My impression is that Nokia are worse, but I don't know Asus much.
Best wishes,

I haven't seen or heard of anything Asus have done that sounds particularly evil, there were some "problems" around the GPL when they first released the EEE but I think that was generally put down to incompetence/sloppyness rather than bad intent. The only slightly disappointing thing is the binary driver for the wifi on the EEE
Also when you say "bad at supporting software patents" I thought that was the whole point...aren't we supposed to be against them or did I miss a meeting :)
