You can prove your point by doing this: Make two independent phone calls
to the FBI. In one tell them that you're going to file a lawsuit
against them because some of the software they use infringes your
patents. In the other, tell them that you are planting a bomb in their
building. If you get the same reaction then you're correct that
Microsoft is the same as Al Qaeda. If not...
I know how I would bet on the outcome.
