The un-informed are here again
Nothing was stolen. Someone patents an idea without having to prove it can be done in hopes that someone will do something like it and you can make money off them. Many companies have their browsers or whatever open an applet not located within the software. Who knew such a patent exist? who would think. Funny none of the other companies patented it. Probally didn't thimk you could, so they would never have seached to see if it was. But lets blame MS.

PS: patened the "Warp Engine". One of my decendents will be filthy rich someday...
