Did anyone read the article? You didn't. Microsoft is suing TomTom. (Sorry pg, I couldn't resist the put-down.)

Here are the patents: http://www.pat2pdf.org/pat2pdf/foo.pl?number=6,175,789 http://www.pat2pdf.org/pat2pdf/foo.pl?number=7,054,745 http://www.pat2pdf.org/pat2pdf/foo.pl?number=6,704,032 http://www.pat2pdf.org/pat2pdf/foo.pl?number=7,117,286 http://www.pat2pdf.org/pat2pdf/foo.pl?number=6,202,008 http://www.pat2pdf.org/pat2pdf/foo.pl?number=5,579,517 http://www.pat2pdf.org/pat2pdf/foo.pl?number=5,758,352 http://www.pat2pdf.org/pat2pdf/foo.pl?number=6,256,642

Only the '517, '352, and '642 patents appear to cover the Linux kernel.

Specifically they are sueing over the support of8.3 versions of long filenames. Presumably the sd card in the tomtom uses FAT
