Well said, but the business perception (& that is the important bit) increasingly becomes that Linux has some patent problems & the best way to avoid trouble is to do a deal with Microsoft :o(

Another day another Microsoft patent deal Posted Jun 9, 2007 22:21 UTC (Sat) by marduk (subscriber, #3831) [Link] But this can't be a long term business strategy. I can't see this working for long, or even on a large scale. Sooner or later Microsoft will have to piss or get off the pot. Of course the end of the second quarter is coming up and I'm sure companies would like to be able to say that they signed some nice new licensing agreements and so on but sooner or later the smoke will blow away and the mirrors will dull. I don't expect we'll see any big fight. This is cold war talk.
