They probably spent quite a bit. I've heard M$ has some of 
the best ambulance (ummm, make that 'patent') chasers in the 
world on their payroll.  (Hmmmm - I wonder how many of those 
"violated" patents were "SCO" patents?)

Oops - did I just mention M$ lawyers and SCO in the same 
paragraph?  Sorry...   ;)
