MS just cant help themselves.  Hope its another Non-starter of a case..... If it goes to court and MS because tomtom has infringed something else not related to Linux wins it could lead to a precedent and those we don't need.

Ever since the 'SCO' debacle started, what 4-5 years ago, I have spent an inordinate amount of time over on PJ's website (www.groklaw.net) if its worth worrying about, groklaw will report on it. My own personal view is is that Microdot isn't game to rock the boat too harshly because too many skeletons might start their bones-a-rattling...... remember, microsoft bought most of what they are, they didnt develop it themselves....

Could also be argued that M$ has never had an original idea either, but has stripped down and then "re-invented the wheel" ensuring that some vital piece of coding suddenly became "Core-essential"

Gee, bet GM coulda done that.
