I’ve been screaming about it for years. Microsoft is going to try to destroy Linux. When the SCO lawsuit failed they needed to go somewhere else and their recent “partnership” with Novell was just foreshadowing.

Microsoft’s latest claims are that Linux violates 235 of Microsoft’s patents. Excuse me while I laugh for a while….

Let’s review history. Microsoft “stole” Apples technology, which Apple “stole” from Xerox, and now Microsoft is mad that someone “stole” from them. For years Microsoft has been using their monopoly to steal technology, destroy companies, and force the industry to move in a direction that directly profits them.

Linus Torvalds has recenlty responded to Microsoft’s claims with a very witty response stating:

“they’re (Microsoft) probably happier with the FUD than with any lawsuit”
