Microsoft and i4i

Hi,

Thanks for helping develop the I4i v. Microsoft (2009, USA) article. I undid some of your additions because the tone might cause us problems. When documenting the case against software patents, we have to keep in mind our target audience. People who enjoy insults aimed at Microsoft are often already on our side, so they're not the target audience. Instead, we're hoping to gather info which campaigners can send to politicians and judges. These groups need irrefutable facts, studies, and logic - and they'll be dismissive of insults and rants.

Looking forward to working together,

The Microsoft article

Thanks for all those links. Some/many of them would be better in the Microsoft article (instead of the article about the i4i court case). Other articles which might be better places for some of those links:

• OOXML
• CSIRO wifi patent
• Microsoft
