The biggest proponent of Software Patents inside Microsoft, for example, when I last looked was their head IP lawyer, ie the guy whose departmental empire grows when Microsoft is sued by more patent trolls. If Microsoft keeps someone on board who trumpets a policy which is actively corrosive to their own company's profitability and morale, it must be because they think it's even worse for everyone else in the industry.
