I'm surprised more companies don't do this, because it seems to me that the impact is clear: Like ambulance chasing, patent trolling relies on the simple principle that it's much, much cheaper to settle than to go to court -- for both sides. It's huge that they won, but they didn't need to. By sending the message that they will always go to court, my guess is they'll stop being sued.
On the other hand, the trolls know this, and may react by targeting companies that do this to demonstrate that it's not an effective strategy.
I used to feel the same way, since finding in c. 2006 that using an ATI card with Linux was pretty much impossible. However, this all changed when I built a new machine last year, and wanted 3 monitors. Two monitors worked great with Nvidia; 3 was impossible. I've found that, although still a little buggy, 3 monitors w/ Ubuntu, ATI/AMD graphics card and "EyeFinity" works great (on KDE at least):

Note that you must use a single graphics card for this, which therefore must support 3 monitors. And in response to the grandparent -- I had the same issues with the order of monitors. Luckily they were all identical, so I just swapped the plugs.
Actually I browse through wikis quite a bit, but maybe I'm not typical. In any event, IMO, a blog (web log) is for just that: logging time-sensitive things, like a journal or news feed. A wiki is for more permanent information, that may be updated as needed, but stays put.
