Microsoft and Samsung have announced their new alliance to use each other’s patents. The agreement will be more beneficial to the Redmond giant because Samsung has the largest repository of US patents. Samsung is generally the early adopter of a nascent technology.

No one has foreseen the future, but for now it seems Microsoft all the way.
