Personally, I think it's just a giant head-fake.

MS belongs to the Linux Foundation, and OIN has not been very pro-FOSS for a while now. Now they are all supposed to prevent MS-backed patent trolls from succeeding?

Color me doubtful.

Good or bad? Not sure. I need to look into this more and get more details. When it comes to Linux I'm generally suspicious of the motives of commercial companies. They're out to make a profit, got that, bravo. However that's not always the best thing for Linux and the user community.

Right, wrong, or otherwise I don't generally trust Microsoft's motives nor business practices in general, and particularly in regards to Linux. IBM I'm only slightly less suspicious of.
