I would guess around 1 Billion dollars ... worth of patents given away by Microsoft as an 'investment' in Xiaomi. Just like Intel was forced to a 1.5B 'deal' last year. There is a LOT of talk about anticompetitive practices by Microsoft lately, this usually results in such pseudo investment/partnership with native chinese company, or $1B anti competitive fine like the one Qualcomm received. Apple is also on a short list of getting fined/kicked hard.
