I guess they dont understand why they lost in court with Sun and why Google did not with Oracle. And an android legal "takedown" would be very beneficial to MSF

  Microsoft had licensed Java code under a trade agreement and was found to have violated the terms of that trade agreement. Google had not licensed Java code, and was sued under patent law. Totally different kind of case.

    Oracle made both patent and copyright claims against Google. The patent claims were pretty bog-standard, but the copyright claim (the loss of which is what Oracle is appealing) was quite... novel.

  I find it pretty sad that Microsoft are lowering themselves to trying to kill competition through lawsuits, lobbying for anti-trust, and paying for hate and FUD campaigns against them lately. On the other hand all this stuff is not exactly strange to Microsoft. Just continuing the legacy.

    Microsoft was on the receiving end of a lot of these kinds of campaigns as well, so you can hardly blame them.
