The article isn't about any actual Linux patent problems

ROFL! Right on que you post more of the same bull. "Linux doesn't infringe on any patents, couldn't possibly. It's all the fault of that eeeevil Microsoft." LOL leep fooling yourself, because any halfway honest rational mind knows Linux could infringe on the patents of many others than just Microsoft. Studies done by those directly involved with the Free Software Foundation have already openly admitted it, and that Microsoft only owned ~10% of what was found. % of what

I’m sure we’d all appreciate you posting a patent number for a Microsoft patent that is infringed by a current Linux distribution. In addition, it would help if you could show how said patent is infringed. Without that, nothing you say on the subject has any relevance, troll.

You said that, I didn't. The fault of "eeeevil Microsoft" is using patents as an anticompetitive FUD tactic instead of doing what they're supposed to do, which is notify the party of all specific alleged patent infringements. Not only do I not like it, but the court system doesn't like it either.
