I would hardly believe that using OpenSim as a basis for your "virtual
world" patent (is an ORIGINAL idea), and using server virtualization
(especially Windows Server 2008/Hyper-V) as an "ORIGINAL" idea.
I've never installed OpenSim on a barebones machine, not even once. Every
instance I have, has been in a virtualized image. (Either Hyper-V, VMWare,
or VirtualBox).
Virtualizing OpenSim is NOT an original idea.
Please post the patent number, so we can at least read the full patent
claims, and refute any stupid/foolish/ignorant patent claims.
