Title

Wow. If our resident martian is angry about Microsoft using the BSD IP4 stack, I don't want to be around when they realise that the Mach kernel OS X uses is based on BSD software.....

And Vista has a rewritten network stack not based on the old BSD stack.

Like or hate Microsoft, this patent is simply ridiculous and should never have been granted.
