[wplug] Cyanogen partners with Microsoft

[Justin Smith]

Cyanogen, the company that develops the popular Android derivative 
CyanogenMOD, has signed an agreement to distribute Microsoft software in its 
operating system. Don't believe me? Read it yourself[1].

So just to review, Cyanogen started releasing its own proprietary version of 
CyanogenMOD and is now partnering with Microsoft to distribute Microsoft 
proprietary software. 

If you're still using CyanogenMOD on your Android device, I recommend investigating 
alternatives that respect software freedom. If you're not sure where to begin, try 
SlimROM[2]. That's what I use. It's a lean, mean, 100% open source version of 
Android that has many of the sort of ease-of-use features that CyanogenMOD does.
