Uhh.. Why?
Going to court is like going to Lunch for MS.
Just something to do in the middle of the day.

If you and your friends have a great new Distro of Linux, do this:
Polish if up where is looks nice. Put up cool website. Make a bunch of high quality copies on DVD. Have it done professionally. Next go to a store where MS is doing a presentation or something like that. Stand out in front on the public sidewalk and shove the DVD into the hands of anybody who looks like a potential customer. This drives MS crazy! It is legal! You are given out a free product, so it is not unfair competition. It is not a commercial product. People pay you only by voluntary contributions because they love what your are doing to bring free software to the general public.

yeah, MS has some great products, but if they really think Linux is competition they should improve them, not brainwash employees. Not that that would get rid of Linux anyway; a lot of Linux users like the Open Source feel, as well as the strong developer feedback from most distributions.
I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.
