Microsoft's pretty agressive against Android (license fees for every sold Android, #droidrage campaign etc.) so I fully approve of this Google's move.


Spitefully blocking Windows Mobile's browser because Microsoft is insufficiently humble in its competition against Android is a raging dick-move.


Yeh no. Microsoft extracts patent royalties (e.g. the FAT32) from pretty much everyone and anyone. They haven't targeted Android in any unique way.

If anything Google's abuse of FRAND patents against Microsoft over the XBox 360 H.264 codec is the most egregious example of aggressive behaviour.
