see previous post to answer this.

No, I don't. Nothing has changed. I don't believe MS has any
IP infringements to use against. Just like I don't think SCO has
ownership of Unix not claims against Linux. 

If MS had a change to sue, they would have long ago. They tried to go
after Linux via SCO and are failing. If they had something, I believe
they would have already made claims.

But what do I know. I like Apple and Linux. I hate M$ products and
practices.
