Story: Microsoft accused of staking claim to the Internet

Reminds me of SCO. Making lots of claims but lacks proof.

In short it comes down to Microsoft wanting their customers to sign an agreement they're not fully sure of themselves. It's just a confusion (illusion?). Well ok, show me the proof first then I'll consider (not) signing it.

What's perfectly clear already though is that signing this Microsoft agreement will, in any case, weaken your position as a Microsoft customer. Because why go thru all the hazzle of making your customers sign an agreement that's about nothing? And, if it's a real benefit for their customers it wouldn't have been an agreement. It would have been a Public Relations press release.
