Posted by CmdrTaco on from the pretty-poor-graphic dept.

    If you're wondering, there is a planar embedding for this graph (ie they could have avoided all crossing). GO MS PAINT!

    But yeah, not sure whether they're dumb, or just wanted it to look more imposing.

    By indemnifying WP7 manufacturers against patent infringement suits, MS is basically assuming any legal threats itself - on behalf of its manufacturers.
