But, I don't think this is a case of M$ getting caught stealing. More that they set this precident for patenting every little stupid idea they had and now that everyone is doing it, it came back to haunt them. I mean, a patent on a database sorting algorithm...OK. But a patent on the use of a trashcan for the use of storing deleted files, an hourglass to tell you to wait, or the number of clicks to open a file. That's a little silly and something that starts to get ridiculous.
