Microsoft vs. Linux: setting the battle lines
,----[ Quote ]
| While Microsoft professes a preference to license rather than litigate,
| its record indicates otherwise. On Feb. 22, 2007, a jury awarded a
| $1.52 billion patent judgment in favor of Alcatel-Lucent against
| Microsoft over the Redmond, Wash., company's use of MP3 codices.
| This was the largest patent award in history. In the Eolas case,
| Microsoft was also found guilty in a $521 million patent
| infringement ruling over how Internet Explorer handled embedded content.
