Microsoft: No plans to sue over Linux patents
Loverock Davidson | 05/22/07

Quite to the contrary. The best thing for Linux would be if MS were to file
DonnieBoy | 05/22/07

That would be best for MS
Loverock Davidson | 05/22/07
|

And that would be fine.
Patrick Jones | 05/22/07

Sure would be
Loverock Davidson | 05/22/07

Not likely....
