OnLive recently launched a new app for the iPad
that would let you use a virtual Windows desktop on your tablet, and
now it would appear that Microsoft and OnLive are in discussions on
whether the use of Windows in the app violates Microsoft’s licensing
agreement.
Microsoft has posted on their blog about the issue, and
have said they are in discussions with
OnLive regarding their Desktop
and Desktop plus applications.
Some
inquiries about these scenarios have been raised as a result of recent
media coverage related to OnLive’s Desktop and Desktop Plus services.
Additionally, the analyst firm Gartner raised questions regarding the
compliance of these services last week. We are actively engaged with
OnLive with the hope of bringing them into a properly licensed scenario,
and we are committed to seeing this issue is resolved.
You can find out more information over at the Microsoft Blog.
