Don't Worry, It Will Soon Be Over
Microsoft will soon either purchase or be forced to purchase all software patents ever filed @ PTO. This will then force each of us to either work in the merry old land of OZ or change careers.

You will be required to pay royalties for writing "Hello World". Forward all monies to Rome... ah er ahem I mean Redmond.

Don't worry, be happy!!!!
