How much is Microsoft earning from its Android taxes again?

"I guess you don't read much. MS did not buy any patents from Nokia. Nokia still owns all the IP"

Fair enough, I hadn't realised that, being as it is of so little consequence to me I hadn't really spent a lot of time researching it, so I bow to your superior knowledge of Microsoft acquisitions post 2010 :)

As a side note, I did say "I imagine that there will be more" and the fact that MS don't own the Nokia IP doesn't detract from the fact that MS still own of of the MS patents (Such as my example of fat/fat32) and thats where the "Android tax" comes from.
