Goodwin strikes again! :-)

Seriously though, I actually don't think that Microsoft is "evil" - that would be ridiculous. They are a for-profit corporation, which is allowed and expected to do whatever possible within the law for said profits. Clearly enforcing their patents is legal and desirable from their point of view.

Objectively I can't blame them for that. But clearly they are in a position of strength, which honestly scares me.
