MS should win this on appeal
This patent is ridiculous. It is like trying to patent the idea of wheels on cars and suing ford or GM. Sorry for the lame auto example but this is a case if, it stands of legal theft.

I don't like MS for a lot reasons like everybody else but this is one case where I do support thier side.

I think the pantent office will invalidate parts of the patent anyway.

Why doesn't copyright also stifle innovation?  rapson | 12/10/04
You are 100% spot on. Copyright is meaningless to software.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/10/04
