One can find both the system and the people who take advantage of the system to be less than honorable. And that opinion has no need to be influenced by the ethical level of target of the dishonorable behavior.

It is my fervent hope that Eolas not only loses, but has to pay Microsoft's legal fees and additional damages to cover research for alternative solutions to an issue that shouldn't exist.

Additionally, I believe that patent enforcement should not be allowed to be selective.

  Alternatively, you could get mad at the patent system instead and work
  to change that instead of wasting time on the latest company exploiting
  it.
