[citation][nom]dilharo[/nom]Why patents bought from one company to sue another not called patent troll..??microsoft making history here....while all govt is after poor google!![/citation]
Where does it say anywhere in this article that they bought the patents for the intention to sue?

MS has a proven track record of buying patents for the purpose of opening them up for everyone, to prevent litigation, or to re-inforce their own patents which are being litigated against by other trolls

If you know different of course then please provide links to the hidden motives and I will happily recant
