The tinderbox vs anti-capitalist
Microsoft the largest software company in the world compromising more than half of a world population with its product faced another battle over open source software community, Linux. This time Microsoft claims that Linux stole their 230 patents. This will be another trick that they want reduce the popularity of open source software, Linux. According to Microsoft statement that Linux Kernel violates 42 Microsoft patents, while its user interface and other design elements go against on a further 65. OpenOffice.org is acussed of violating 45, along with 83 more in other free and open-source programs.
If Microsoft win this battle definitely there will be discussions about the future of opensource softwares. Linux contains hundreds of different flavors. Customers use open-source software widely, and many major computing companies--IBM, Dell, Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, Motorola and Oracle, for example--support Linux work directly.
In my mind and I don't believe Microsoft gonna win this case, if they are then it will be complicated. They need lot of effort and resource. So lets wait and see what is gonna happen in future. Linux is my number one Operating system software.
