The conspiracy theory that Microsoft is behind this suit falls somewhere between alarmist nonsense and obviousness. This could actually have nothing to do with Microsoft, and just be a case that the patent trolls thought they'd exploit. Of course, if this was brought about by Microsoft, it adds a different twist. Would MS file a patent suit by proxy against a company they have a patent deal with? Is that even legal? Adding my own little conspiracy theory, is Microsoft trying to demonstrate the advantage of signing a patent deal with them? The idea being that Novell will avoid lengthy litigation while RedHat will be forced into a SCO style FUD case. No matter what's really going on, it's more fuel for Microsoft's FUD machine. --Jestin

It could just be a coincidence that this happened right on the heals of Balmer's latest threats. And it could just be a coincidence that the patent holder if isn't also suing Microsoft. -- Fedora 7 : sipping some of that moonshine ( www.pembo13.com )

Microsoft doesn't violate it, unless that's something new in Vista.

Aren't we talking about virtual desktops? Or did I misunderstand the scope of the patent? -- Fedora 7 : sipping some of that moonshine ( www.pembo13.com )
