Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't Oracle's Java patents apply to .NET implementations as well? Apparently, they cover fairly generic virtual-machine-acceleration-and-security stuff.

Even if they did Microsoft has it's only patent arsenal. You only bring a patent suit if the IP retaliation isn't equally damaging. I think this has more to do with Oracle seeing Google's cloud as a competitor to Oracle's cloud. If they depended on Oracle you can bet this would be a non issue.

  That type of protection wouldn't extend past Microsoft however so I would imagine this would still be an issue in the case of Google.
