Well after Novell made a deal with Microsoft to allow Linux and Windows to work together, Microsoft's CEO Steve Balmer was claiming that SUSE was infringing upon some of Microsoft's Intellectual Properties. The funny thing though is when Novell and the community asked Ballmer what things it infringed upon, Ballmer would not comment; In fact, the community asked what was infringing upon Microsoft so they could take it out of the OS. Sounds like to me the head honcho at Microsoft is ticked off because Linux is becoming a competition. Take a look for yourselves. No offense to Mirosoft but rather than trying to cry foul to an operating system that is gaining market share, why not try to create a better product with less restrictive licensing. But yet again Microsoft is at it again by crying foul and trying to quell any competition. (All Info is Presented As Is)

We've discussed this in Electronics class. Microsoft just needs to realize that their monopoly needs to have a little challenge.
