Microsoft To Continue Licensing Fees For Windows Mobile

"Microsoft plans to continue charging licensing fees from handset makers for Windows Mobile operating system and not follow the free offerings of Google and Nokia, reports Reuters. Microsoft charges $8 to $15 per phone, according to research firm Strategy Analytics, which sounds like shockingly high amount for a mobile operating system that's less than stellar, especially when you could get Android's decent (but not great) OS for free. "

Not sure that should come as a surprise to anyone. In other breaking news, the oceans will be wet today.
