Its no secret amongst my friends, family and collogues that I am a fanatical Free software supporter and Linux user. Until now I have refrained from using this Blog as a political ranting ground. However after I saw this, I couldn't help myself.
Microsoft is trying to claim that Free software, such as Linux infringes on 235 of its "patents". (Yes those quotations are meant to be there.)

Perhaps if they invested as much time and money in their products (Vista anyone?) as they do trying to cream off profit from other honest peoples hard work, they may have an operating system worth using?
I have just got a new laptop, dual AMD 64's, 2Gb of RAM and it takes about 10 minutes to restart to a "usable" Vista UI. Is it any wonder that the first thing I did was to install the FANTASTIC Ubuntu 7.04?
Its time people realised what a monopolising bully M$ really is and made a bid for Freedom.

Welcome FUD thank MS. If you are a programmer, you must be earning thousands of $s, if they fix everything, who would pay you? Would you write free software for your clients?
