Free to Hobbiests, Argh what a spin
All patents are free to hobbiests. All you need do is ask for the filings. As long as you are not using the patent for making money you are good to go. At least that is the way this citizen hobiest has always understood things. Does anyone believe it is not so?

It boggles my mind why Microsoft continues to shamelessly spin. Stop it please. You make your on employees ashamed. Instead tell us more about the marketing of Linux, Open Office and FireFox through the Novell/Microsoft marriage so we can show managment and Microsoft partners that Microsoft can make money just like their competitors - IE ligitimately, without warring over which operating system product or office suite is best. I mean seriously Oracle is now a magor reseller of Microsoft's own SQL Server 2005. If Oricle can make money off of Microsoft's Databases and Linux then why can not Microsoft make money off of Linux.

Predicted by a fan. Microsoft will abandon the Internet Explorer browser within 2 years. What say you all? Think that possible?
