    ... about it.

    Ask yourselves: Are software patents a good thing?

    Do not be tempted to say: "Yes, if used against M$"

    It is a question of moral judgement.

    ..a patent infringement lawsuit involving several patents related to Microsoft's implementation of "Chimney"

    P.S.: Having a similar point of view, I was rated "Offtopic". Keep in mind that being "thoughtful" does not attract the masses here. In a way, I am sad that I did not have the chance to participate here when this site presumably smelled the air of the internet as it once was (maybe) conceived.
