Wow! I vaguely remember reading something about Microsoft making some money off of Android because of patents, but I had no idea it was that much. Well, I guess you can’t blame them. If they hold the patents, they have a right to profit from them. This is somewhat amusing to me though, as I’ve seen a lot of anti-Microsoft vitriol from some Android users over the years. I wonder how many of them know that part of the purchase price of their Android devices goes straight into Microsoft’s pockets?
