Got to love their seek and destroy business techniques.

hahaha epic lols. i think microsoft have done this just to troll other operating systems, which inevitably will work and lead to a fun lawsuit. Of course Microsoft will lose because everyone thinks Microsoft is a massive cashpot, therefore break the pot and all the money flies out wooooo. :rolleyes:

I can see it now. Police entering buildings, and walking out with confiscated Linux netbooks, and iMacs, with their owners pleading for them back and crying about the unfair Microsoft monopoly.

Not.

It's just a patent, it isn't going to cause the above.
