I would suspect MS's main goal is to spread FUD about Android. They "partnered" with Novell just to do that with Linux, and now they "partnered" with NOKIA [1] to bully their way into the mobile arena. It only makes sense for them to attack Android in this context.

[1] If you visit www.nokia.com as of this writing (and for the last few days), the most prominent word you see is MICROSOFT all in capital letters.

Where I'm surfing from there's a prominent banner which reads "Nokia + Microsoft. Join the discussion!" Once again, the people in charge of some corporate image have failed to understand some fundamental principle of communication. In this case: that you only put that kind of thing in that kind of position if you've just announced a merger or acquisition. But I suppose such people claim to know what they're doing, so we should just let them get on with it.

Nokia's admitting what it is: One of the most inexpensive acquisitions of a major multinational corporation in history.
