You’re trying to push the idea of “you’re either with us or against us”.

Talking about absolutes…

Jim Allchin on Novell

“Pearly Gates and Em-Ballmer
One promises you heaven and the other prepares you for the grave.”

–Ray Noorda, Novell

Novell shares its patent pool with Microsoft, not just with OIN. Whose side is it on?

You could spin it that way, but you could also look at it at face value and notice that what it really means is that Novell doesn’t try to enforce their patents on anyone.

I know you hate Novell, Roy, but seriously how about some objectivity?

You’re trying to push the idea of “you’re either with us or against us”.

As Obi-wan Kenobi replied in Episode III, only the Sith deal in absolutes.

You, sir, are a Sith.
