Microsoft may lodge patent lawsuit test case: Linux specialist
'After a week of saber rattling to seed the marketplace with FUD about
the dangers of moving away from Microsoft to Linux, look for Microsoft
to lodge a lawsuit against a medium sized user that's large enough to
be noticed but too small to sustain a defence in court. That's the
prediction of a Linux specialist who has been watching Microsoft's
actions of the past week.'

If this did happen to a company that was not able to easily fund
itself I would be tempted to send donations to assist.
