Actually, most of Microsoft's patents are for technology developed in-house. Can you tell what such technology Google has developed? Because I don't know any.
B&N is the only one that has not, but what do they know, they're a book store. Every single other tech and smart phone company has looked at the issue and noted that those Microsoft patents are valid.
I know I'm not supposed to feed a troll, but what do you call MS's vague threats over Linux and Android?
I'll just chip in, but what vague threats? MS has a large R&D department and they actually do lots of research and development. Of course they should get some payments from companies who use the results of this process. By far every company has agreed and MS gets over 500 million a year from Android. Does Google have similar R&D department? Because I haven't heard about such.
