Microsoft Stops Windows Phone Development, Launches Android Patent Troll Suite

,----[ Quote ]
| âI never understood Google's OS strategy,â Ballmer laughed.
| âThey are so confused. What's the point of Google ChromeOS when 
| you have Android? They just don't know the game.â They have been 
| investing so much in their Android and don't even make a dime from it. 
| That's not how businesses work. You have to answer to your investor. 
| Those are the ones who take care of your company and not developers or 
| users.â
| 
| âWhile Google is wasting money on developing Android, we are 
| monetizing on it. We make $5 every time an Android phone is sold. 
| We are going after all Android companies, we have the legal force 
| and money to scare the shit out of them. Imagine every Android company 
| paying us $5 per unit! We can't even charge that much from a Windows Phone 
| license,â said Ballmer.
| 
| âToday we are launching this Microsoft Patent Troll Suite 1.0 (MPTS) 
| and it is available to all Microsoft partners. The suite allows you to
| sniff all Android players and then work with our legal team to go after
| such companies,â
| 
| âWe expect to make around $2 billion in revenues this year from 
| Android alone,â concluded Ballmer.
