i've heard M$ are now starting to sue companies using Linux.
Steve Ballmer said so in a seminar in Singapore. However, the Singapore Government has started using Linux itself! How ironic is that?!

Should MS actually sue Linux users? If MS was to win this lawsuit, this would increase MS's dominance of the OS market. the competition will be btw Mac OS and Windows again. how stupid is that? we need more competition here not suits.

I believe Ballmer was refering to the SCO lawsuits.
