You always start celebrating in the first inning?

Yes, given that we are only in the first inning of Window/Linux competition

Why anticipate a patent war?

From the reverse direction

It is refreshing to see that the points

Very true, I think that MS is just shooting themselves in the foot here.

You all right!

We are talking the cost to ANYBODY developing open or closed source, if

Bitty, a developer?

Since before you were born would be my guess.
No_Ax_to_Grind | 05/16/07

If so...

MS is not the only one with patents, and you can bet that MS would sue your

Clutching for straws
No_Ax_to_Grind | 05/16/07

No, just the truth, MS does NOT protect you when you write for Windows.
DonnieBoy | 05/16/07
|
|
Sorry Donnie, its never happened.
No_Ax_to_Grind | 05/16/07
|
|
And, to put it bluntly, MS will never sue over patents used in open source

Nope, not a single problem at all

Naw, it was stupid 5 years ago

Keep humming anyway, as it's moving up the charts even faster now... [NT]

And what would you have them do for you?

"MS cares"

Hence the agreement with Novell

Please tell me what name I called you?
jacarter3 | 05/16/07

The name you called him was 'bitty'

That was a reference to his previous ZDNET handle, not a "name" [NT]

What you described is extortion, and is illegal here in the US.
DonnieBoy | 05/16/07
|
|
Not really...
No_Ax_to_Grind | 05/16/07
|
|
The big difference, is ELOAS actually filed the suit. You are proposing
DonnieBoy | 05/16/07
|
|
EOLAS did not file suit against open source
No_Ax_to_Grind | 05/16/07
|
|
Yes, that is right!! Pretty funny, so, sounds like open source is safer!!!!
DonnieBoy | 05/16/07
|
|
Glad to see you agree with me.
No_Ax_to_Grind | 05/16/07

Well, where we can agree is that fair or not, open source is safe.
DonnieBoy | 05/16/07

However...

And, it has to be extremely frustrating for MS that they were the ONLY ones

As I said, glad you finaly agree.
No_Ax_to_Grind | 05/16/07

Yes, we can agree that open source is safe. MS could only hope to put some

But the net effect was...
Henry Miller | 05/16/07

And, you hit the nail on the head, that is the problem for MS.
DonnieBoy | 05/16/07

It wouldn't be that hard to get around this issue.

The changes you are suggesting would negate the value of open source ...
