Bilski Briefing: Government Argues that Section 101 "Processes" are limited
to "technological and industrial processes."
,----[ Quote ]
| Although Bilski's claim does not relate directly to
| software, the machine-or-transformation could be seen
| to limit the patentability of software processes acting
| on a general purpose computer (as opposed to a
| "particular machine").

Intel Statement on Software Patents
,----[ Quote ]
| Now, to protect and encourage this kind of vast U.S.
| investment, and I'm referring to both the technical as
| well as the financial aspects, and, to promote the
| development of new and improved products, we at Intel
| believe that software-related technology should
| continue to be afforded the opportunity to obtain
| patent protection.

Does Silverlight on Linux matter?
,----[ Quote ]
| Are you seriously saying, that when Microsoft is making
| the field of on-line video more fragmented with one
| more proprietary format that is aimed at nothing else
| but give more control to Microsoft, we should applaud
| the company for doing this? This has nothing to do with
| choice for the users. If the use of Silverlight spreads
| wider in the future, the users are guaranteed not to
| have more choice and control of their computing
| experience.

Why Microsoft won't fight moblin
,----[ Quote ]
| Moblin is the solution to the problem of Intel:
| providing a free, lightweight and powerful OS to sell
| cheaper netbooks and devices. This allows Microsoft to
| get out of the "bargain basement OS" market and to
| focus on a more expensive, higher end market with
| Windows 7. The differentiation between both OS is
| large enough to ensure that most people won't buy a
| Moblin device to replace their computer but to
| complement it. It suits Microsoft better if consumer
| purchase a Windows 7 desktop AND a Moblin netbook than
| if their purchase only a cheap Windows XP netbook.
