MS invented this? You sure?
Isn't this just a QR code?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_Code

Please tell me theres something different. Please tell me MS didn't just rebrand something AGAIN just to have the MS faithful that don't know much outside of the MS world running around rejoicing because they think its something new....

By the way I believe there is already a QR reader in the Android market and I'm pretty sure there have to be readers on other phones as well.

I totally agree  NonZealot | 01/28/09
It runs on iPhone and Blackberry...  Heatlesssun1 | 01/28/09
