schestowitzI feel a little weak sometimes when it comes to keeping track of IV, Gates, and others who are principal in the Microsoft Movement and Old Guard's patent plot (turning the software industry into a patent industry). If someone could keep an eye on them and report (Groklaw and Linux sites do not do this), it would help demonstrate that we should quit looking at Vista 8 or the hype du jour and instead expose anti-competitive Sep 30 17:42
schestowitzpractices against Linux, which limits the perpetrators' actions (as we saw when Garret complained about boot). I have RSS feeds that I used to read, but I lack time to deal with them (coding C++ today), so for someone to compile summaries (read/write) would help connect dots further down the line.Sep 30 17:42
