I'm not a rabid MS basher, but this sentence just took my breath away:

"The Redmond behemoth asserts that one reason free software is of such
high quality is that it violates more than 200 of Microsoft's patents."

To be fair, I don't know if MS actually had the brazenness to say that,
or if it's just Fortune (perhaps tongue in cheek).
