So since the tabbed browsing of IE7 has been in Firefox and Opera and others for a while, is Microsoft going to sue itself to stop itself from using tabbed browsing?
After all, aren't patents are about protecting IP in the first place, so maybe they should sue themselves for using a GUI at all since it was developed at XEROX. This was a silly statement, by someone who could take a lesson from all of the flubs in the political arena and shut up. If he can run his company, sell better software, and make money while competing fairly, more power to him. The problem is that Microsoft has not been willing to compete on a level playing field, and even the perception that a company that has decided to spearhead a major linux distribution is in bed with them in any way is a MAJOR problem. I am sure that the people at Novell that put this together did so with all the best intentions, but someone has to wake up. Sc*** me one, shame on you, Sc*** me twice, shame on me, and Microsoft has been doing that for years. I'm not talking about the grunts and engineers, because they have some of the best in the world. I am talking about the senior management. That is the problem with Microsoft.
