Do "Friendly Patent Attorney"s read this? Could this be FUD trying desperately to make an impression? Maybe Daryl McBride. No, he is preoccupied right now.
The clock is ticking and Microsoft is shaking in it's boots. Without a specific company to sink they are trying to make U.S. court decisions enforcable as international treaty?
You can even look at the "Latest Ideas that they may patent here:

The reality is that Windows could not withstand a challange today from Apple as it did in the 80's. Nor could Apple defend itself against a case-law based lawsuit from Xerox over the same issues. The software that was ripped off back in the day would have "Royalty"ed Microsoft right out of business.
The Linux community is not intimidated by those that regularly go to court and lose.

We have our own allies and their assets range in the trillions. They have names like China, National Security Agency, and Munich.
Finally, My 70+ year old parents use Linux daily. My local library uses it. My hospital and their lab use it. Several schools in the area are using it in their classrooms. Do you really think that Linux won't go mainstream? Fool. Go bury your head in FUD cause that's all that you're going to end up with.

Perhaps it is Brian Connolly ready to strike again. Oh wait, he is still licking his wounds.

If so, then Microsoft will patent everything just to be sure.

Just in case they miss something, they will trick the worlds best and brightest minds into giving them more ideas to patent.
