I talked to a guy that said he was there when this happened. He said Motorola was sitting at the table with Microsoft and wrote something on a napkin. Motorola said, "We think you will find this deal satisfactory..." and slid the napkin over to Microsoft. Microsoft took one look at the napkin, flipped the table over and stormed out of the room! It was crazy!!

Motorola has said that when Microsoft came to them their opening offer was 2.25% of retail costs and that Microsoft didn't entertain a negotiation.  But interestingly enough, Motorola still is seeking the 2.25% of retail cost.  It's is also the same amount they have and continued to seek from Apple (that case was dismissed last night with prejudice).  So, I don't see where, with either party, that Motorola is negotiating. 

I made the whole thing up so you guys would think I was cool.  :(

NOOOOO! I so hoped it were the long awaited sequel of the infamous chair-throwing Ballmer!
