... é um ladrão ou algo do tipo. É o que diz o Grande Ballmér(de). Com a palavra Cory Doctorow (Boing Boing):

The other shoe has dropped on a weird little deal between Microsoft and Novell over SUSE Linux last week. Microsoft gave Novell $440 million for SUSE support, and then Novell gave back $40 million to license Microsoft's bogus patent claims against Linux.

Now Microsoft's Chief Rageaholic Steve Ballmer has explained the deal: Novell's $40 million "payment" is an admission of guilt. Every Linux user who doesn't use SUSE (the only "licensed" Linux) is a patent infringer. All Linuxes except the ones that Microsoft blesses are illegal.

Pode? Pode.. no mundo da MS, tudo pode. Tudo que ela deixar.
