I didn't see anything in that Groklaw article saying that Microsoft's lawsuit wasn't in response to a patent threat from TomTom. (Not that it is Groklaw's job to refute every random theory floating around, but I don't see how the article you linked to is relevant here.)

You are most likely right about TomTom as a company; I knew they had fought Garmin in court but it appears that was defensive (see here for example).
