????Microsoft’s allegations are a????well-funded and well-run FUD campaign (a marketing strategy that aims to created Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt).
Microsoft is targeting Sun Microsystems for patent violations in its open-source software, claiming OpenOffice.org breaches 45 of its patents. Sun wasted no time in responding to the claims coming out of Redmond.
Linux Torvalds also responded to claims Linnux has violated alot of patent violations.???? To sum it up he pretty much said they are saber rattling and told them to bring their crap to court and we will see who is in violation of patents!
“Microsoft will need to be careful what it starts, given that it cannot know where this will end. I think most knowledgeable software users see this posturing for what it is: empty threats from a scared giant whose monopoly is being challenged,” McPherson wrote in the linux foundation’s blog, alleging further that Microsoft has a monopoly on operating systems and productivity software.
If microsoft is not careful in the FUD they are starting somerone is going to rip a gaping hole in their O.S. as most fundamental OS theory was developed BY IBM!
UNITE AND FIGHT THE POWER! Go OPEN SOURCE!
