Microsoft owns Linux now, Ballmer claims

MICROSOFT’S shy and retiring boss Steve ‘there’s a kind of hush’ Ballmer might be gearing up to take Linux distributors to the cleaners. According to Linux World, Ballmer is whispering to all who can hear that Linux infringes on Microsoft’s intellectual property.

It appears that Microsoft is not into making new friends, but instead enjoys targeting free operating systems. Not surprisingly though. What doesn’t make sense to me is the fact that he continues to mention about Linux usage of Microsoft IPs, but have yet to hear what IPs they are actually infringing upon!
