Hi.
Some more info about these "patents infringements" and Microsoft
accusations:

In my opinion Microsoft is simply trying to scare companies who want to
switch to linux and/or alternative software (Openoffice - MySQL?).
Agree with Andy, the worst could be that we'll have another SCO.

I havent read it all only the first paragraph, is it a wind up or for
real??
It is a real allegation by Microsoft.
Whether it's an allegation that holds any weight would be opinion;
my opinion is that they are most likely exagerrating, if it comes
down to it they will wheel out a couple of what they consider to be
their best examples, and then it will go much the same way as SCO.
Cheers,
Andy
