Collect a royalty cheque from Google. There is no love lost between the two companies. In a recent interview Steve Ballmer couldn't even say Google's name, he called them "the competitor". Don't underestimate egos here in the clash of the titans. The cost is insignificant but the leverage against Google even though it's minor would be priceless to Microsoft.

One last point , why did Microsoft decide to engage in settlement talks before final ruling?
