Microsoft deserve no credit

Hey, don't give credit to Microsoft where credit is not due. Microsoft had no intention of supporting Linux and never will. If it wasn't for the fact that Novell's Miguel De Icaza has a hard on for anything Microsoft then Linux users wouldn't have Silver/Moon-light. The guy seems obsessed with bringing Microsoft patent laden products to Linux.

If Microsoft intended it to be on Linux they would have built it themselves. What crap about "saying resources - or a lack thereof - ". I thought this company had $50 billion in the bank. Then again, with America having financial problems maybe Microsoft are not worth as much as they say they are!

With the comments that have been made by Microsofts CEO, 'Monkey Boy' Ballmer, has De Icaza wondered why Linux users should support this patent laden product? Surely it would give credence to Ballmer 'the chair thrower''s next rant when he accuses Linux of infringing on their patents.
