So Microsoft unleashes its lawyers on Android OEM's and there's nothing Google and all those OEM's could do about it?

Wasnt Google supposed to 'defend' OEM's, specially after Motorola deal?

And, on a totally unrelated note, Microsoft does all the bad practices to gain profit; and it has an XBox with a camera connected to internet with closed source software which updates itself, on millions of houses across the globe? And we're supposed to trust them because...?



Maybe Microsoft's requests are legitimate? Maybe the OEM really infringe on patents? Maybe Microsoft provide support for the technology in exchange of money?

We have little or no information, let's just not jump to conclusions.


Thankfully the veil is likely to start getting lifted with the Barnes and Noble lawsuit and anti-trust complaint.
