Any proof of this strateggy? There already have been hundreds of P2P
patents issued to a variety of companies, many of the patents dating
back to the 1980s (P2P is an old technology, despite the fantasies of
some). While Microsoft has been getting a few such patents, so is
everyone else (including a fair number of "open source" companies).
On the other hand, if you have some data, how about sharing it with
the rest of us?
