Well, just about every article concerning the acquisition views this as a positive thing for goog's patent defense efforts, disolitude. But I'm the one that needs to get in touch with reality? Whatever.

Everything Ive read stated this move is positive for Google against Apple and completely useless against Microsoft as Motorola doesn't own any OS related patents they can target Microsoft with.  Sure they can go after OEMs if they infringe on Motorola radio patents, but Nokia has as much patents as Motorola in that field.

infact they got Apple to settle last year and pay them a quite large, undisclosed sum of money - http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-06-14/nokia-apple-payments-to-nokia-settle-all-litigation.html

Thats the best Google can hope for with Motorola. Stop apple or get them to cross license. If they want to counter Microsoft they have to change Android and stop borowing patents they don't own.

However feel free to post some links to prove your point. I never see you post any proof or links to back up your posts...
