Hi, I'm forwarding this email that I just got from someone called
Baseline_on_behalf_of_Microsoft. I can't be certian if it really was
sent on behalf on Microsoft, but I wouldn't put it past them.
Certainly falls in the FUD catagory.

Software indemnity provisions may not be top of mind. But the fact is,
somebody should be thinking about them. And they should definitely be a
factor when choosing software.
That being said, you and your company should know that—unlike some Linux
vendors—*Microsoft provides customers with uncapped monetary protection
against intellectual property suits.* And this isn't some extra
protection package that you need to buy into; it's just the way we do
business.
