Nope. Targeting Microsoft may be a tempting idea, but it's fiendishly difficult to write the laws such that Microsoft can be sued and the average open-source vendor can't. And quite frankly, Microsoft has lawyers to fight lawsuits, and the open source community doesn't. You think things are bad *now*, imagine the scenario where Apache, Linux, the various *BSD's, and almost everything under the GPL all disappear - none of those have armies of lawyers to defend them.
