I think both MS and Apple have a vested interest in seeing Android destroyed. Mobile products are already selling more than PCs and no one expects the trend to slow down in favor of mobile. Tablets, in a short time, have already affected PC shipment numbers. If Jobs, Gates and Kay are right that tablets are the future, then this is a very serious threat to MS. These users are adjusting to life without MS software.

MS may not necessarily need mobile for profit but they need it for growth. These patent royalties are not going to last forever.
