| You can't make this stuff up. Top Microsoft blogger Mary Jo Foley
| asked, "What kinds of tools/processes did Microsoft use to
| determine which open-source code allegedly infringes on
| Microsoft's patents?" Their answer: "No further details
| are available at this time."

Microsoft's anti-Linux patent claims: Arm-twisting for Novell-like deals
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft's recent Linux patent violation tirade, courtesy of reporting
| done by Fortune magazine, might have all the markers of an SCO trial
| repeat, but IP attorney John Rabena doesn't think it will end up that way.
|
| Instead, Microsoft is probably jockeying for position to generate more
| Novell-type agreements with the bigger Linux players, said Rabena, an
| intellectual property attorney based in the Washington, D.C., offices of
| Sughrue Mion.

Microsoft: FUDing to Hide its Fears?
,----[ Quote ]
| Even more galling, Dell recently bucked the system by announcing
| they'll optionally install Windows XP in new machines because so
| many potential buyers didn't want DRM-crippled Vista. To add insult
| to injury they're be adding an Ubuntu Linux-equipped line later this
| year, and Michael Dell himself publicly professes to using Ubuntu,
| OpenOffice.org and Firefox on his laptop.
