Salon is owned by Microsoft, right? This is a smart move: they switch to Linux just to later switch to Win2000 Server when it will be available in October. And do you know what they will say? That Linux was not fast, not an industry leader, not stable,... Pass the word now before it's too late.
It is not a surprise if Microsoft has patented CSS as they intend to use this specification to build new file formats in Office 2000 to replace native formats from Word, Excel and others.
This licence is undoubtedly done to block other editors who would use the CSS outside web browsers. CSS will replace HTML language and thus Microsoft will be able to dictate towards where language CSS will go owing to the fact that Office is really the standard. In the long run, Microsoft will control the basic language of the Web. See from here all propaganda: "We invented the language of the Web" and all the mercantism which will be followed from there.
