I think we ought to petition to get Hans Reiser out of prison and go and work at Microsoft, then he can go and kill all their lawyers

On a less frivolous note, I presume that most people know that the inflight entertainment systems on planes are usually linux based? NorthWest's is from Panasonic. It'd be interesting to know therefore whether Panasonic have lots of patents on installing (linux-based) entertainment systems in vehicles/planes and whether these challenge the MS ones?
