“I have a list of 235 patents…”

Published by David HM Spector at 9:33 PM under Internet, Linux, Microsoft, Software, Unix

How McCarthy-esque. How terribly predicable. How silly, sad, and ultimately cowardly…

1) Linus is right, Microsoft needs to put up or shut up.

2) As a shareholder (yes, some of my mutual funds hold Microsoft stock) I am appalled that Microsoft would appear to violate several SEC (to say nothing of Sarbanes-Oxley) rules which preclude stock manipulation. And, clearly what Microsoft is trying to do by threatening Linux users/vendors with this bogus patent nonsense is raise its own stock price through the use of these deceptive threats.

It would be interesting to check on what insiders are doing with their stock before and after this “announcement”….
