“Not possible, eeevil Microsoft again” LOL. The actual truth is Microsoft has patents on their file systems, which Linux has purposefully and specifically copied, and then distributed with almost every copy of Linux. These patents were recently validated by federal examinators in the US patent office as well. Keep believing your foreign Linux will get a free ride in the US if you want, but all free rides come to an end.

Are you saying that Linux infringes on those patents?

As expected from a troll like you, you didn't answer the question, instead responded with FUD.

Here's the question again. Perhaps this time, you can read with a little more comprehension. I'll even Bold it, so it will stand out.

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.

Oh, and I’d like for you to point out in my post where I said
“Not possible, eeevil Microsoft again”. You’re quoting it, in your response like I said it, but I did not.

I see, you’re just going to throw out the insinuation that Linux is violating the FAT patents without backing it up. Typical.
