I think it is real funny that Microsoft does not want anyone to illegally use their product yet according to the court they were allegedly using code without permission to enforce Microsoft's own rights. The ultimate irony and hypocrisy. Now we can say that there was allegedly illegal code in Microsoft products, who are they to judge. One good reason not to let MS get involved with Linux. They might allegedly encumber the Linux community, if they have not already.
