  Microsoft readying 'all-out war' on open source
Time: 18:10 EST/23:10 GMT | News Source: TechWeb | Posted By: Alex Harris

Stanford law professor Lawrence Lessig has claimed that Microsoft is preparing "an all-out war" on the open source community, specifically Linux. The controversial proclaimer on copyright issues and member of the Electronic Frontier Foundation made his claim at the Open Source Business Conference in San Francisco.

Lessig is using economic laws to shore up his case, arguing that large monopolies will spend whatever they have to in order to protect their position. And as an organisation that made $8.1 billion in profits last year, Microsoft is in a position to throw a lot of lawyers at the problem. So far, so obvious. But Lessig then went on to describe Microsoft as a threat to both businesses and the economy. He said that Microsoft had allies in the form of telecoms giants, many of them also monopolies or near-monopolies, who were gearing up to wage a war against peer-to-peer networking and other technological innovations. Then, like Trotskyists of old, he called upon the open source community to rise up against the threat. Quite what he expects people to do isn't clear, apart from, as he said, to become part of a public debate. Despite frequent claims to the opposite, blogging has yet to change a thing.

I say pish posh. MS is always "open" to some good competition (see their briefs for the justice department).

Too bad if they succeed though. Then their only competition will be from Apple and Sony, two toy companies.

God help future computer users.

Is the future of all computing in the hands of idiots without an original idea in the entire bunch?

Readying an all out war? What have we been living through the lat two years with the MS financed studies that conclude Windows always is better then Linux for everything ever thought of?

The US and EU can do whatever they want. The future is in China and India. If this new world has any common sense they won't play ball with the old world(US and EU) or its monopolies.

The new world innovators will create products that aren't shackled by stupid patents, the DMCA or Hollywood. They will put them out on the net and then what's the old world going to do?

I just hope the US and EU figure this out before we're all buying Chinese computers, running Indian software, watching Hong Kong movies(or listening to Brazilian music) in our Japanese cars whilst talking on our Korean cell phone.

#6: the bogus MS studies were the assault on the user front. Software patents will be their assault on the developer front.
