[linux-elitists] Microsoft is now quoting numbers of infringements.

Timothy Tuck quoting CNN:
> But he does break down the total number allegedly violated - 235 -

> the free operating system, which interacts most directly with the
> computer hardware - violates 42 Microsoft patents. The Linux graphical
> user interfaces - essentially, the way design elements like menus and
> toolbars are set up - run afoul of another 65, he claims. The Open
> Office suite of programs, which is analogous to Microsoft Office,
> infringes 45 more. E-mail programs infringe 15, while other assorted
> FOSS programs allegedly transgress 68.
