Microsoft is complaining that “the Linux desktop including OpenOffice” infringes some 235 Microsoft patents. An objective comparison between the whole Linux desktop and Microsoft’s Windows desktop shows that it has a good point; there are many resemblances, from trivial to profound. However, there are plentiful other non-Windows-like models of desktop to follow instead. At least two are already there: implemented, working and ready to use, complete with accessories. Two complete Free, open source desktops, radically different from anything Microsoft has patented. They’re just not being used by any distributions.
