Is it just me, or is this article spreading the same FUD that we have come to expect from the pro-Microsoft side? It is one thing to dislike Longhorn because of its DRM, but quite a stretch to believe that Microsoft will patent every common computing process used in Longhorn.
Unlike what most here probably believe, patents are not the problem. Microsoft will not be able to patent Linux out of existence.
