| Very interesting ploy from Microsoft, I can't say I agree with the

,----[ Quote ]
| Of course they won't sue. Like the SCO case MSFT financed, it would
| likely crumble during discovery. It's the potential of a lawsuit
| that MSFT will use to create the FUD they feel is necessary to
| convince people to shy away from open source products and instead
| fall back to MSFT products.
