"Mid November, Steve Ballmer said 'Linux uses our intellectual property' and Microsoft wanted to 'get the appropriate economic return for our shareholders from our innovation.' Many people didn't understand what he really meant, among them the LXer editors. Therefore, LXer sent an Open Letter to the Waggener Edstrom Rapid Response team, and two weeks later, the answers are in (no pun intended). Check the full story for the answers a Microsoft Spokesperson gave us, which hopefully can answer some of our questions."

That's the best damn post I've seen in a while.
Actually, I'm enjoying this whole thread. Anytime MS speaks on Linux, IP, innovation, or other such things, it is an absolute joy to watch them get ripped to shreds in forums and the IT post, by people that are a lot smarter, perceptive, and funnier then any of the mentally deficient blowhards at MS.
