The Linux Association believes that the latest comments about the patent agreement between Microsoft and Novell are part of a marketing campaign for Vista. Microsoft head Steve Ballmer recently claimed that the open operating system uses "Microsoft's patented intellectual property," thus posing a "problem for our shareholders."
