Comment Re: MS Considers Linux a Threat (Score 1) 306
Couple of things... (just opinions)
Software Patents - Don't think it's right to patent non-physical devices. Hopefully we can someday we can fix this horrible innovation-stifling law.
Lindows - Don't think anyone ever confused Lindows with Windows.
Old dates on information - I was trying to show a long standing pattern of attacks. You went through many of the items essentially saying that the attacks were justified. Don't wish to put words in your mouth but I think that's the gist of your opinion.
Whether the attacks were justified or not it does show that 1) Linux was/is a threat, as indicated by Microsoft. 2) Linux is not a "ghost" that no one can sue or strong arm.
The last few paragraphs seem to be irrelevant to what I wrote so I'll let others comment on the pros and cons of FOSS.
