Microsoft Joins the Open Invention Network

I agree that all-or-nothing isn't a good policy.

But I'd like Microsoft's reputation to be proportional to how objectionable it's behavior is.

For example, I don't want Microsoft's reputation to go from a C- to an A- because of this patent issue, when they continue to require telemetry in Windows.

We can agree on that.
