Xiaomi’s path to the West gets a little easier with Microsoft patent deal | Ars Technica: "Xiaomi and Microsoft have announced a deal that will move the companies a little closer together, while giving Xiaomi a slightly less treacherous path for expansion into Western markets. Xiaomi is buying some Microsoft patents, and the two companies have inked a cross-licensing deal for patents, and, like many vendors, Xiaomi is committing to bundle Microsoft apps on its Android phones."

Could be a big win. Maybe a Xiaomi Windows phone is next!
