Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is likely to have scored a coup with its agreement signed with Samsung (SSNLF.PK). The two companies will collaborate on developing and marketing Windows phones. More important, the agreement will entitle Microsoft to earn royalties from Samsung��s Android (NASDAQ:GOOG) sales. Those payments should be significant considering Samsung��s 19% share of the mobile phone market.
