Apple might have cross-licensing agreements with Microsoft that prevent them from going after Microsoft, but I don't know that.

Apple's patent attack

Interesting indeed.
A few observartions: Apple attacks HTC, maybe the number one Android phone provider. Apple also does its thing against Google and Linux, both directly and by proxy. Both companies have very good relations, you do not see hostility among them.
Are Jobs and Gates (ok, Ballmer) finding Synergies? Or is it mere coincidence? Or are they soooo afraid one of the the other (hard to believe in the case of Microsoft).
