Well, in case you've been hiding under a rock for the past 2 or 3 days. There was this article in 'Fortune' about how Microsoft owned 235 patents that FOSS was infringing on.
I loved PJ's comments on Groklaw from last night. http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20070513234519615 I'm looking at reasons 4, 5 ( & 6 kinda) and I'm thinking, if SCO was so unsuccessful suing over infringements, how does Microsoft think they can do one better? Does everyone here know what is the meaning of "FUD"? Remember how Microsoft has used FUD for years to scare people away from using Linux? Well, it's time. It's time to spread FUD about Microsoft. For your own personal perusement, I have provided some starter FUD phrases, (Feel free to use them with co-workers, management, customers, neighbors, etc...) * "Do you really want to use software from a company that will sue you?" * "Are you comfortable spending money on that software when it's license does not protect you from that software vendor dragging you into court over something you did not do?" * "Can you trust a company that will sue it's customers?" the list could go on and on... learn and practice how to use this MS fud...
