How's that agreement with Uncle Bill working out for you? Well, now you know why we didn't sign it. It looks like we've all got a few lawyer fees in front of us.
Microsoft's puppet group is probably going to ask for an injunction against Novell and Red Hat. Sadly, the entire future Linux could be decided by a judge in the next few days. Whether the suit has legs or not, an injunction would pretty much mean the end of every organization that depends on the distribution of Linux.
Sadly, the patent covers virtually any tabbed interface on computers. Software patents: They're awesome.
