2007??  Really?

2007, each one, and the patent trolling of Microsoft started even
earlier.  Is it your contention that /now/ it is a viable threat when
even Microsoft won't say /what/ they have patented and that suddenly
both GNOME and Ubuntu are both so fearful of Microsoft that they've
changed their whole style?

BTW, with the doubt that almost everyone seems to feel about the
validity, nay, /existence/ of these vaporware patents,  can you really
think that anyone, "*HAD* TO CHANGE THE DESKTOP.  It had NO CHOICE?"
