Microsoft's excellent PR machine at work 01

This is kinda funny, actually. It's like a game of PR ping pong, captured right here in this screenshot. Microsoft threatens to sue users of Free Open Source Software, claiming that those users violate Microsoft's patent claims. Ping. I offered to be sued by Microsoft because I use Edgy Ubuntu GNU Linux. Pong. Someone posts the story of my offer to Slashdot, a widely read tech magazine. Ping. Microsoft posts a "feel good" ad on Slashdot saying that they will donate money everytime you use their instant messenger. Pong. I tried to click on that link, but since I was not using Microsoft's Internet Explorer, I was not able to see their ad. Out of bounds, Microsoft!!
