As for those that simply
use Linux...

yes, it sucks. it sucks that they're threatening to sue. it sucks that they're making tons of FUD. it sucks that the FUD will cause some companies to go MS to avoid potential problems. even worse would be if they go for patent immunity. they've got plenty to lose should other companies begin to enforce their patents against MS...
