No. Let Microsoft sweat it out. They'll probably end up paying the ransom
money, which will encourage the next holder of a silly patent to pursue
them. Then, when enough people attack Microsoft with silly patents,
Microsoft will eventually see the light on software patenting and join the
campaign for their abolition, and we will all benefit.
Unless of course the lawyers drain the lifeblood out of the industry first.
