On dealing with Microsoft
On dealing with Microsoft

While I agree that MS is not the biggest part of the problem, the patent and other IP law issues
should not be taken lightly. Writing more and better code will do no good if that code is
outlawed due to patent restrictions. As much as we may not like it, we need to be at least a little
bit politically involved to make sure that we _can_ continue to produce more and better software
without the fear of being sued and/or imprisoned for violating patents or DMCA-style laws.
