I do believe that Steve Ballmer has once again screwed up!
There are folks from many countries on that list, asking to be sued,
first! Some are in countries that don't even recognize software 'patents'!
Disabled Veterans are begging for the notice in the press, so that the
true criminality of the multiple convicted felon pirate Microsoft can be
displayed before the world! Yes, push the old soldier out of his or
her wheelchair, in front of the jury!
Once again, Bad Boy convicted felon Microsoft had us all starting to
just calm down and treat them as just another predator in our world, and
BOOM! Steve blew it up and destroyed whatever tranquility had been
established.
Let the dogs of war loose upon them! Microsoft SUCK$!!
