"We can read the Linspire-Microsoft patent agreement now, or more precisely Microsoft's 'Covenant to Customers', and I thought it would be worthwhile to give it a close, line-by-line reading. I'll explain it as best I can, but ask your lawyer if it matters to you in a real-world sense. For our purposes here, let's just have fun with the worst deal I've seen yet in this category."

Not a real legal analysis. Just full of snarky, sarcastic remarks on each sentence of the covenant. Couldn't they at least pretended to have a sense of non-bias and objective analysis? Opinion is fine, but to be sarcastic and exaggerate everything is ridiculous and pathetic.
What value does this actually offer? I don't see any. If I wanted what it is actually offered, I could read that on slashdot, here or even digg. Sites that don't pretend to be some bastion of objectiveness.
