I also haven't read the patent in any detail. I think there are technical differences between the implementations and capabilities of the windowing technology in Windows versus those in X11 that *could* affect whether this patent applied, but I don't know enough about the patent to begin to guess whether that's the case.

I do agree that it seems odd to pick on the defendants they chose.
