I'd say that is something they have at least tried for some time but I see no real success in it yet.

MS has only licensed the patents, this means they have right to use them without facing litigation from Nokia.
If some company is going to do the patent trolling, it is the owner of the patents, namely Nokia.

That is of course possible but I do not really see chip fabbing as core competence for MS. It is fairly sure if they did that they would lose a lot of money.
