The Big Winner In Apple's Patent Victory Over Samsung -- Microsoft

[THE_DB_KNIGHT]

Microsoft may be just as pleased as Apple with [url="http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9230604/Jury_decides_in_Apple_s_favor_Samsung_hit_with_1B_damages"]Apple's $1 billion victory over Samsung[/url] for violating Apple patents. The core of the verdict could apply to virtually all Android devices, while leaving Windows Phone free and clear. It could well ultimately lead to big market gains for Microsoft.


The Windows Phone screen arrangement looks nothing like iOS or Android. It feature very large "live" tiles that display ever-changing information grabbed from the Internet. So Apple can't come after Microsoft for that.

With Android under legal fire, and Windows Phone having no legal impediments, Microsoft has a lot to gain. Samsung and other smartphone makers may turn increasingly to Windows Phone rather than Android because of the legal uncertainty surrounding Android devices. Right now, Nokia is the primary manufacturer designing for Windows Phone. But if Samsung weighs in big-time, as well as other manufacturers, Windows Phone would get a big boost.
