It's Official - Microsoft to Sue Linux Users!!!

[InsomniacUK]

It's FUD.

Quoted for emphasis.

Rather than freaking out about this, I tried to create a thread were we could talk about ways to use this to the Linux advantage. I haven't gotten any bights yet, but if you would like to contribute, or tell me that that I have my head on backwards, the tread is here:

The reason I made this thread really has been due to the current notices that novell has been making about Microsoft and its position in there deal.

Its concerning and I believe that these concerns should be noted, especially since Microsoft has tried to end open source and linux since the time began.
When a company believes its impossible to have a world with free software, it hard to believe that they have turned over a new leaf.

You know what I mean?

I have not believed it since the word go, my friend.

I agree...
Its weird though, it seems like the board is split on this issue alittle.

I think it's people's desire to always see the good in things. it's not a bad thing, and i try to do it as much as I can too. I just don't see good coming from this situation.

...Also, if there is a way to change this header, I would advise it be changed. The title here gave me the impresion that I was going to get a letter in the mail from Bill Gates or something.

I´ll second the motion about changing the header. It´s FUD like this that really does scare some users away and thatś why Microsoft spreads it. Do you think it a coincidence that this stuff starts up all over again, whenever Microsoft prepares to ship a new release?!?

Just to be certain, you dont mean
FUD: A Scottish colloquialism for the female vagina.

I certainly think that Microsoft starts it up to keep us busy for a bit.
