[Cialug] "Microsoft takes on the free world"

[Dave J. Hala Jr.]

It looks like more FUD to me. Kinda reeks of the SCO thing. "You're
infringing, but were not going to say where or how". Just remember that
we have a ton of money and we're going to bury you in legal fees unless
you're running Suse.

Blah,Blah, Blah... until I get a summons, I'm not gonna sweat it. Worse
case scenario, I'd move over to Osx.

Is Microsoft the next RIAA?
