Microsoft exec talks patent politics

Will M$ open their code to scrutiny? Probably not. Do they have code that infringes on others IP? More than likely. Their GUI came
from Xerox and Apple. In fact, if it wasn't for some else's ideas
their would be no M$. Everything they started with belonged to
somone else. They either copied it or purchased it. If they claim
Open Source infringes then let it be shown in court, or shut up.
They are running with their tails between their legs because they
are scared of Open Source and all other competition.
