Should Microsoft be afraid of Linux?
http://www.crunchgear.com –
Does Microsoft fear Linux? Should it fear Linux? Does it fear Linux only in certain sectors, like Web servers, and not others, like the desktop? What exactly does “fear” mean here? Why do I still watch Lost? All important questions that deserve highly developed answers.

All That Got Stolen Was Microsoft's Thunder
http://www.informationweek.com –
It's bad enough that Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) with its big war chest might sue you for producing open source software.

Microsoft continues to prey upon the overly cautious with patent deals
http://www.cnet.com –
Apparently Microsoft has a thing for conservative Japan. Just when I thought Microsoft had closed patent cross-licensing deals with every Japanese firm ever to have considered corporate existence, Microsoft surprises me with a deal with Onkyo.
