This is my take. Microsoft is known to be evil, led by incompetent leaders, etc. I get it. They intent to use patents to screw Google to the fullest extent possible, and like anyone would/should be surprised.

On the other hand, Google took the high road and built on their feel-good "Do No Evil" mantra. So I hold them to their words, and whenever a screw-up like this happens, where Googlers were exposed to be liars no different than others, shouldn't they be "punished" at least by their own pie in the face a bit more?
