And they also ask you to hand over your job agreement. In my case I haven't tried opening bank accounts in Berlin or Munich, but I have in Mannheim and elsewhere and it seems everything is pretty complex... Sure the system has it's benefits too. I like Germany, but the level of bureaucracy seems stressy...

                  this sounds like it could be a patent on use of a virtual machine like dalvik. if so how did Microsoft obtain a patent on such already existing tech?

Well we've been in a conference where someone gave the question why germany doesn't go in the smartphone market. The answer was that they can't build a good smartphone for a decent price. This means they can't be competetive enough. Sure they can build a great phone, but they can't make it cheap.

                          Now this: "Germany has garnered a reputation as a battleground for global patent wars, due largely to its cheap and quick court process compared to other countries." - sounds awkward. Cheap and quick court process? Well I haven't been in a court process, but so far as I've seen, Germany is a very bureaucratic country and the processes are very slow, It took me like 5 attempts till I could finally open a bank acocunt there... You go to the bank, they say you can't unless you work, then they send you to your local bank, then you come, they are taking 2 hours break, then you come next time, unfortunately you have to make an appointment first. Then you make the appointment and have to come next time for your appointment. Then you can open bank account (but only if you have a proof that you will have a job lol). People told me it's the same way in UK too... Well anyway, that's why I can't imagine how the court process could go fast...

                                    As a German, I feel slightly uncomfortable about the notion of Germany being a battleground again... didn't turn out that well for us last time.

                                        Dont know how to handle the news. I live in germany and here I dont see a battleground^^ just kiddin', even though I really live in germany.

                                        Other companies choose germany, because we like logic, we do not count, which company comes from where, we are free of prejudices, since there is no german phone company anymore, cuz siemens doesnt produce smartphones... Good for the rest of the world, or we would take over like in the car biz :)
