Right... I hope you don't expect Linux people to get excited about that just because it is Microsoft that he "beat". - At least one of the stories is PR nonsense posing as journalism. - He beat them based on his software patent! - The patent is for DRM! - He also goes around patenting nonsense things like compression methods for "reducing the size of stored digital data by up to 98 per cent" _________________ DEATH TO SPREADSHEETS - - - Classic Puppy quotes - - - Beware the demented serfers! |
