reality?
Really now, I think that we all know that what is really happening, it's rather simple to see. After all these years of trying to take over the computing world, and all these years of claiming to be an 'innovating' company, people still complain about patents. "If you're so great, where's all your patents" they say. So now MS and BillyG are scratching their heads and patenting everything they can think of. They are obviously working hard and taking this quite seriously. Yet, still all we see are complaints. One has to wonder what will be the reaction next week when they learn of the new MS patent on "sitting, standing, or leaning at the computer to get more work done".
