Your "summary" is a lot different than the "Microsoft is trying to intimidate anyone with a user interface on an OS other than Microsoft" post that deserved the sarcasm it got.

You obviously don't have the needed knowledge in patents or IPR or antitrust. By saying what you did, you may incorrectly influence people who don't know better and think that you do know these topics. I am not disputing that MS are monopolistic sons of *****es. Go ahead and bash them all you want. But that posting was waaay out there. I'm sick and tired of people purporting to say "how it works" when they really don't know.

And if I ever make a post purporting to give the lowdown about some aspect of programming, but the post is ludicrous to those know programming, then you are free to pull out the sarcasm button on me or call BS on me too...
