War is started: Red had has been sued for patent infringement
IP Innovation LLC sued Red Hat and Novell (yes, Novell) for patent infringement about multiple workspaces (you’re right, this is unbelievable). Is there Microsoft hand?

This surely mean that these languages gained (with python) so much audience and respectability that no one should ignore them.
IE8 rumors, Microsoft close to free software?
No no, that’s not what you’re thinking, I’m just talking about the development cycle… It seems to me that bigM is reacting the right way to the free software challenge, between ie6 and ie7 we had to wait for something like 5 years, not they’re already talking about new forthcoming features.
