    I don't care who or why Microsoft loses a lawsuit to someone, I just like to see them lose.

    After all the little guys they've screwed over getting to where they are now, and since they're patenting everything under the sun whether they had anything to do with it or not, I'm happy to see them have to fork over the loot.

    I was loading up on NOVL stock friday on that selloff over Chris Stone leaving.

    Thank You Mr. Gates! I now officially forgive you for all the hours I've spent fixing spyware and virus ridden Windows boxes for my friends and family over the last few years (I've been on Linux for 5 years, still can't seem to get away from fixing windows boxes though).

    BTW: the new Novell Linux Desktop aimed at corporate customers looks slick: http://www.novell.com/products/desktop/
