[NTLUG:Discuss] Microsoft takes on the free world

[Dustin Reyes]

I think it's more FUD and Microsoft is unwilling to try initiating
full-blown patent war with the rest of the industry - the downsides
appear to vastly outweigh the upsides for them, but I'm not a Microsoft
shareholder or anything, so my pov is probably biased.

It just strikes me as more bluster like Ballmer has spewed in the past.
