open-source patent threat

Is it dead? You bet it's not! Microsoft will never let Linux keep moving, if they can stop it. They can make all the promises they want, or make all the public announcements about opening their code and promising not to sue. But, they have not changed one iota in their quest to stamp out Linux, or any other competition that gets in their way. They will get OOXML approved as a standard, and you can take this to the bank.
