Squirtit-
that may be true. But there is a legal technique called "papering" the opposition. It is my understanding that the relevant acacia patent expires in approx 8 years.
Just Microsoft (not including any other big player) could toy with acacia like a cat playing with a dying mouse for that long.
And, for Bill Gates, half a billion is a bar tab.
