It's pretty safe to assume that there are way many more people creating OSS than are working at Microsoft... Should M$ should begin such a campaign, they may just find themselves suddenly fighting ever-evolving software that not only works around their patents; but becomes incrementally better than the crap they ship...
We've seen the OS community become pseudo-legal experts on <A HREF="http://www.groklaw.net/" title="groklaw.net">GrokLaw</a groklaw.net>; maybe M$ would like to see OSS become a formidable patent-busting movement too...
If M$ haven't been watching the SCO cases, then they are sure to repeat SCO's business model -- that might suit me just fine...
