Android is already saturated with almost all hardware vendors jumping in and entry of low cost Chinese handsets. Microsoft may own it, but remember that they are an upstart now in the mobile business, not an established player. I am pretty sure this deal would allow them a lot more leverage to influence the OS design and software. Pretty much like the early WinTel era.

The company that got really, really rich off the early WinTel era was none other than Microsoft. Not Compaq, not IBM, not any of the other clones.

Well, it's actually Intel.
