Microsoft continues to pen licensing deals with Android device manufactures, with Quanta Computer being the latest. This is just another name on Microsoft’s list, seeing as they have already worked out agreements with Android device makers Acer, Amazon, HTC, Samsung and ViewSonic. From the article on The Next Web:

The dollar figures involved here are non-trivial. Rumors have floated that OEMs are paying between 5 and 15 dollars per unit shipped to Microsoft, effectively making Redmond a massively profitable player in the Android market. And all it has to do is collect the checks. With giants such as HTC and Samsung on board, the pattern appears to be set.

With Microsoft experiencing issues growing their mobile user base, it appears Android may actually be benefiting them more than they would like to admit.
