Journal Journal: They can run the country but can they send an email?

Here we are. 2007, about to elect another president, and close to 500 US Representatives and Senators, and countless other elected officials - governors, attorneys general, state representatives and senators, and all kinds of other individuals to guide our nation through these modern times.

Submission + - Microsoft, Sue Me First

corigo writes: Supporters of Free Open Source, Oasis Open Document, and other Free and Open Source solutions have asked Microsoft to throw down the guantlet. Sue Me First says Christian Einfeldt of Digital Tipping Point and he's not alone. More and more people are signing up and challenging Microsoft to put there lawyers where there mouth is. It sounds to me like the open source community is far from running scared. Will Microsoft have the cajones to step up to the plate, or is Microsoft just continuing to use a scare campaign with no real faith in their ability to leverage the patent control they claim the open source is infringing on?
