All Comments by Alan Williams »Microsoft’s Open Source Claim: What Are These Patents Really All About? [View article]
We are going to sue Linux Distributors so don't go switching away from Windows to desktop Linux and get caught in the crossfire.
Microsoft, through Steve Ballmer, has been openly accusing Linux users of patent violations, for 2 or 3 years now, without actually saying which patents have been violated. Since they have never disclosed the specific violations they have probably lost the rights to defend those patents in question.
Given the recent Supreme Court ruling on Software Patents, the patents were probably indefensible in the first place.
