[Opensim-dev] ReactionGrid Inc. files for US Patent

[Mark Malewski]

What exactly is it that they are trying to file a PATENT on?

They're hardly the first company to use Windows 2008 Server, and Hyper-V
(and SQL 2008) for deploying OpenSim.

Seems a bit absurd, and the silly hogwash press release is nothing but
marketing hype from Microsoft (who probably never heard of OpenSim prior to
Reaction Grid asking them for help).

I've been running OpenSim on both Linux and Windows boxes from day one, and
it just seems odd that they are acting as if they were the "first" to use
server virtualization.

So what is this "PATENT" that they are trying to file on?

Do you have a patent number?  Should be interesting to read...
