this move produces a lot of changes in the game.

Now Apple must be extra careful in their accusations against HTC as they now face a real risk of stepping on Microsoft's toes, a move that could have unintended consequences and cause severe damage to Apple's business.

Have you ever wondered why, despite frequent insinuations, Microsoft as of today has always failed to sue Linux?

Because IBM holds many important patents and that scares Microsoft. Apple should fear Microsoft almost as much as Microsoft fears IBM.

Software patent litigation is a minefield! Apple shouldn't be playing that game.
