I Love Madriva
They make an excellent distro of linux, and now the CEO has put forward a logical, reasonable explanation as to why Madriva is not signing any bogus patent deals. Microsoft should ashamed of the extortion scheme it is running for these phony patent claims it refuses to <ocument.

The government really should just abolish all software patents.

Long live Mandriva!
