Oracle wanted to get into Android and make it as a source of income from patents that were included in it. While Microsoft, despite asking royalty, but is expected to also having an agenda to show that Android is not free and asked for handset makers to think again because there are alternatives that can be used as the Android mobile operating system is Windows 7 Phone hers.
