m$ attacking Linux with Patents

Ballmer, Bemused - Forbes.com
m$ cannot be allowed to slow the proliferation of linux. The future of open computing (and thereby the future of open society) depend on free, open, uncontrollable software. We are living in dangerous times. The Orwellian future has not yet been prevented. If free/open software isn''t given the time to mature and create the open and secure internet as it needs to be to protect those who inhabit it, we will have to depend (for our freedom) upon the ineptitude of corporate smallminds and the cunning of teenage nerdowells.
