I find it interesting that Mr Hovsepian seems to know all about this issue and is worried about it enough to address it on Novell's web site, but yet Mr Meissner remains ignorant of the issue. Head in sand Marcus?
These are all old, dating to around the time shortly after the aggreement was announced. Ballmer had one or two interviews/speeches where he launched into this non-sense, then it was reported on ad-nauseum. Hardly qualifies as (in your words): "Much posturing, but Balmer is still claiming Linux violates MS IP loudly and often. More often than before." Below are dates from the citations you list: By: Enterprise Open Source News Desk Dec. 2, 2006 09:30 AM Digg This! ------------- Linux OS violates Microsoft's patents, says Ballmer By: Eric Lai Computerworld (U.S. online) (20 Nov 2006) --------------- Novell rejects Microsoft's IP claims by Shubha Krishnappa - November 21, 2006 - 1 comments ----------------- Posted by Todd Bishop at November 16, 2006 12:37 p.m. ----------------- Computer Hardware & Software Ballmer, Bemused Daniel Lyons, 03.23.06, 3:15 PM ET ---------------------- Nov. 17, 2006 What a surprise! What a shock!
