M$ has all the money they could ever possibly need to file and prosecute as many patent or other suits as they want to bring. Their object is to squash and destroy all other software, nothing less. If using the court system as a weapon to enforce and firm up their monopoly costs them a few Billion$, so what? They can afford it, it's a good investment. The issue to them is not damages, much as they may loudly say it is. Their issue is to stomp out the competition, period. Maybe they are using $CO as an opening act to warm up the audience and then they will follow up with their patent actions.
