Research and Development was 14% of revenue, which is a pretty high number. That's why we hear all about patents from google glass, search, mobile, etc. MSFT might have 10% of monies generated from revenues going to R&D, they just can't spend as much bc of that super high dividend payout ratio. 45% of all of MSFT's profits have to go to a dividend.... R&D for MSFT is going to go down, it has to. And therefore, eventually MSFT won't be able to patent troll google anymore, so android will become profitable when this happens.

The Microsoft "Android tax" is a secret cross license; no money actually changes hands. It's just to make MS look good in the press.
If MS were actually taking $5-$10 per phone vs Google+Samsung+Sony+HTC etc, the lawsuit would be unending. Instead they all cooperated immediately.
