While it is funny that they make more on android, they are hardly "getting rich" off it. 100 mil for msft is peanuts. It doesn't move the needle.

- tanzam75 13y agoMicrosoft had net income of $5 billion last quarter. $100 million isn't "getting rich," but it is 2% of net income. Granted, it's a smaller percentage of net revenues than of net income. But patent licenses are essentially pure profit, right? You're not doing the R&D for the purpose of getting patent licensing revenue.
