Just when you thought it was safe to stop hating Microsoft...

Hooray for Linus Torvalds!

Anyone care that Microsoft is out "sabre-rattling" patents against the Linux OS? rolleyes I find it remarkable that a company that was a decade ago threatened to be broken up, and claiming that Linux was a legitimate competitor as evidence to keep that from happening is now going after them... but whatever... you don't hire a cadre of laywers just for legal defense... why not make money with them while you're at it... Right Zeezrom? biggrin

Of course, you know that Microsoft was one of the backers of SCO, who also went after Linux, specifically IBM. I'm amazed that the case hasn't died yet; there's no support for it. Hopefully the Microsoft case will come to nothing.
