Story: Microsoft takes swipe at Linux vendors' legal story

"Struan Robertson, a lawyer with law firm Masons, agreed it is unlikely for the end user to be sued, but is possible -- as was seen when SCO Group sued DaimlerChrysler and AutoZone for using Linux."

a high school student could do enought research into this to point out that both of these were not about linux as it is protrayed by SCO and lazy press. in fact DC has been dismissed in just a few minutes of time in front of the judge. and more relivent to the point in this article, the Judge in AZ case has put is on a rolling Stay untill the Redhat, Novell and IBM cases are resolved - showing that while it is "possible" for end users to be sued the court is not so easliy fooled as the media. If you don't beleive me about these cases not having to do with Linux, look at the transcript of the July AZ hearing - where that is what the SCO lawyer says. please do the research and don't allow your article to perpetuate FUD.
