I'm afraid that a lot of people have already made up their minds. I think it would take Novell giving away all the millions of dollars they're getting to free software organisations before they would even be listened to. People aren't looking at the $400+ million Novell now have to develop Linux and FOSS, they look at Balmer's aggressive statements and decide on that basis. Once the 'patent' word was used, rational discussion went out the window for a small but vocal minority, alas.
