I've been waiting for this to happen. Why? Because Samsung will fight this, and there's a 90 percent chance Microsoft will lose, just like they nearly lost with Barnes and Noble. But unlike B&N, Samsung won't back down this time with a settlement. So this is actually great news for the Android ecosystem. Some of Microsoft's main asserted patents will finally be invalidated. It also doesn't help that all of their 300 asserted patents have now been exposed by the Chinese government, and Google and OEMs can circumvent them in future Android versions (governments should've never allowed them to keep the licensing deals secret in the first place, as it creates an anti-competitive environment and defeats the purpose of patents), obliterating most of Microsoft's Android licensing/extortion business. This lawsuit also comes at a perfect time after the recent Supreme Court ruling.
