Microsoft's American Proxy Patent War Continues

A made-up thing, a company called "IP Innovation LLC", is suing Red Hat & Novell for something which sounds like the virtual desktop implementation in Linux (which I personally treasure as a productivity godsend -- and which is enabled by Linux's true multi-threading, multi-tasking might...Windows can't implement virtual desktop because, underneath, Windows code is a complex tangle of spaghetti lacking in Linux's Unix-provenance as a real OS).

PJ & Company astutely make the connection that behind "IP Innovation LLC" is a group called Acacia which is staffed by senior Microsoft agents, including Jonathan Taub, a Microsoft Hero & Key Achiever.

The Microsoft Cross-Marketing & Interoperability Pact with Novell says that Microsoft and Novell pledge not to sue each other or each other's customers for ostensible patent infringements. "IP Innovation LLC" is a shadow Microsoft hitsquad. Therefore, Novell is aware now that Microsoft is in breach of their deal.

The drama continues and Linux keeps getting more important and easier to implement -- outside the USA.

CIOs -- this has become too transparent. Aren't you fed up yet?

ceteris parabis, this patent trolling by Microsoft is immoral, unethical and hypocritical. It will surely cause Asians, Europeans, Oceanians, Antarcticans, Africans & S. Americans to laugh at the self-defeating innovation-constipation in North America.
