To be fair, Google has been getting into the patent game too. It bought a ton of patents, and while it hasn't sued with them, it has transferred some of them to partner companies that did sue. So Google is involved in the patent battle, by proxy. I do agree though that Microsoft is clearly abusing the patent system far more. It files far more lawsuits, and I have yet to see one about a patent that actually sounds reasonable.
