Well the only comment I'll make here is that first, it would be a
crime if FS won. I seriously doubt that GW Micro violated knowingly or
otherwise FS' patent and additionally I doubt FS even discussed the
matter with GW Micro prior to placing the suit. The second point is
regardless of Mac or PC, it's never a good thing for these types of
actions to occur. I mean after all, if FS were to win for example,
what would they decide to do next, go after Apple? FS is a very
desperate company in my opinion and figures they can make more money
by beating their competition in court than in the product.

Round 1, Freedom Scientific and GW Micro square off to dual, with
Freedom Scientific the favored to win. Place your bets folks.
DING! The fight has begun! Apple sits in the audience cheering
them both on! Have a knock down drag out you two, because Apple
escapes this fiasco unscathed!
