Ballmer Says We Should Thank Him

I hate to file this under the “I Told Ya So” category—especially when somebody else is more entitled to do so—but Steve Ballmer is now claiming Linux infringes Microsoft Intellectual Property.

I knew Microsoft wasn’t looking for Novell’s money or protection. They were aiming for credibility. In the eyes of certain customers, Microsoft is now a huge supporter of the the open source community, and a “Don’t Be Evil” company that is only trying to the greater good.

Good for then. Now let’s see what GPLv3 can do about it.
