When Microsoft releases a guide to making a 'non-infringing' operating system (which very well could happen), I'll agree with you. All of these companies do these bad things; it is a symptom of the disease that is the patent system (which is in turn a symptom of the malady called capitalism). But very few would have the chutzpah to issue a document like this. I am not entirely sure it is a bad thing, actually. I think it serves as a reductio ad absurdum of the entire situation in the tech world vis-a-vis patents.
