Scare-mongering is probably the best way to describe that article. I just find it difficult to see how they will be able to ‘take away’ open sourceness’ from the community. If they stop us doing it one way, surely we will just find another way to do it.

They cant patent innovation or the concept of ‘new ideas’, can they???

There is no war (Only in Iraq, and against terror) what is wrong with you people Yes windows exists people use it, MS doesnt like Linux but would you expect them to? Why are you all so bothered about it? If Linux is so great why does it need you lot to praise it people will notice if they dont then there is something wrong with the way Linux is doing things. Im sorry to rant but havent you lot got better things to do and a bit more maturate then to just post crap like this. These post proberbly bother me as much as ms/windows bothers you. Sorry to rant like that i normally just keep my moth shut i just keep seeing more trash like this and it just too much now damn you Yeh ms writes FUD wow its not like its the first time.
