Motorola versus Microsoft?

So apparently Motorola and Microsoft have a pretty big divide between them, not news to anyone, right? Well their latest beef with each other has taken on a whole new look that more resembles two dogs fighting over a piece of bacon. Guess what the bacon is; that’s right, money. Is that all these big companies can focus on? What’s even more annoying is that the problem with their fight is that Microsoft believed they were charged an unfair amount by Motorola for use of some very specific patents.

So the software titan, Microsoft, has had $14 million awarded to them by a jury, and that was mostly to cover the cost of relocating an entire warehouse to another country! In one aspect, everyone loves Microsoft, but hates the monopoly appearance they have. In this specific aspect though, you’ve got no option but to see the injustice dished out to Microsoft by Motorola. We still respect both and see their benefits as phone manufacturers, but doesn't it make you want to scream those two words? Stop fighting.

It appears that this isn't the only dispute they have had. Apparently they fought over some patents with the Xbox, and the price tag for those patents from Motorola was almost disgusting. $4 BILLION a year. Thank heavens a judge ruled that the appropriate price tag was actually $1.8 million. I don’t even think Microsoft would've been able to provide their payroll if it was to pay that much a year.

Both are giants and both have benefits for each of their products. When in comparison, and we’re talking specifically Windows phones and the Droid lineup, It’s almost like comparing apples to oranges, it’s all a matter of what you need or want out of the phone.
