Although patents generally refer to a specific product, the point of a 
patent is that the person or people applying for the patent make a set 
of claims. Companies try to make the claims that are as generic as 
possible, so that they can squash competition. As has been seen 
repeatedly, claims that were made for one product are applied to a 
different product. For this reason, it is up to the patent office to 
restrict these claims. In this case, the USPO doesn't seem to have done 
a very good job.

The next thing is that desktop Linux works very well. It is my primary 
OS, because it provides an excellent combination of reliability, 
flexibility and security. OSX is fine for my wife, because she doesn't 
need the flexibility that I do. If I need Windows, I can run it in a VM. 
I keep a copy of the VM on a portable drive so that I can replace it, 
should it get pwned. I don't store any data in the Windows VM.

These days what gets posted to the Internet is for ever. You really 
should stop making posts to Usenet where you display your lack of 
understanding for all to see. It will eventually come back to bite you.
