SCO claims "Unix is mine"...
Microsoft claims "FAT is mine"...

It's more clear for me everyday than Linux and BDS systems begin
to result a real problem for Microsoft and other companies. If you can't
stop its growth, try desperate ways.

Just today appears one notice about distribution of illegal copies of
"Longhorn" (next Windoze) in Malaysia, and the prosecution than
Microsoft shall try to do in this country. What a joke with China near :-)
