- Not all Americans agree
- Microsoft's position unassailable? Puh-leese. With the way the patent ffice hands out transh patents for even the most obvious of inventions, Microsoft's position is anything but unassailable. It would be expensive to fight, yes. And they might have a few valid patents in there somewhere, along with the ones for left-handed mouse pads and such. But if IBM decided to put their full weight behind the kernel, or any of the other OSS developers, MS would be left a smoking crater in the patent war.
