Analyst: Microsoft collects $444 million in patent fees for Android
"While that $444 million sounds like a lot, Business Insider points out that Microsoft generated $75 billion in revenue last year--so this is a drop in the bucket. However, that is still money that goes to Microsoft for their patents and re-affirms their position that Android is not free."
So if OEMs will have to pay per Android device now some may as well switch to WP7. It's not a bad OS now.
