OEMs capitulating doesn't imply merit of the patents at all, it's simply a statement of how hostile the current patent law environment is that they don't want to risk a court finding against them. Whether or not a patent has merit seems to have had little bearing on the outcome of the more recent court cases.

There are more.
Microsoft has vowed to use software-patents to destroy the use of the Linux kernel in the marketplace by driving up the cost as much as possible. This is their plan in action.

You've made a good case to me about burying MS's attempts to reenter the mobile market. Their continued abuse of the system to harrass and eliminate competition is really out of hand. I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing other players start to kick microsoft as they continue bleeding marketshare in general.

Arguabled Apples intentions are even more damaging to Android than Microsoft. Google however does not dare retalitate against Apple because iOS is the 800 lbs Monkey and Microsoft is the 2%.
You forgot to take that into account in you analysis.
