Hasn't Microsoft figured out yet that the patent violators
aren't going to be the distributors (assuming the patents
aren't total crap, of course)? They're going to be KDE,
Gnome, Linux kernel proper, OpenOffice, the X Open group,
and other such -- or perhaps the individuals who violated
the patents by incorporating code re-implementing those
patents (the code can be in a different language, even).
But no...attack the messengers. What a brilliant strategy.
Not.
