You know, I really, desperately hope you're wrong, but my massive gut says you're right. M$ wants their $ back, but for whatever reason Nokia won't give them the portfolio directly. Answer: use a 3rd party troll to whack the knees of other companies with the Nokia portfolio while M$ does it directly with their own portfolio. (I just thought of this as I wrote it, and it makes a horrible, queasy, "OMG! That's their master plan!" feeling...) Crap like this really makes me want to go to bed and cry to sleep because it's just a tiny part of the big picture happening everywhere: the massive surveillance, draconian laws, etc. It's basically what science fiction authors have been warning us about for the last 2-3 decades: a CORPORATE Orwellian Dystopia where there are no individual rights and all fights are basically between corporations (and the largest grandfathered private companies), either directly or using their puppet governments. Sorry, I know I'm losing it here... Mike
