Not to beat a dead horse (to death)

but I wanted to correct something I had said yesterday, and that was
when I summarized someone's blog page and mentioned that Microsoft had
agreed not to go after people using software that they deemed to be in
violation of their patents.  I was assuming this was applied across the
board, but upon reading more, it appears that they will only indemnify
against patent lawsuits if you "pay" and use the "special" Novell Linux.

At least, that's the claim this article today is making --

I think that article is a more realistic view & analysis of yesterday's events.
