And it is quite odd that you would be against software patents when Microsoft holds them, but all for them when someone else does.
It is also interesting that this was held in Texas, when neither Microsoft, nor the company who is making the claim are based there.
Maybe it is about time people actually write software they file a patent for, and not just place a generic "thought" on file and look to extort money from other companies.
Or is that an accepted behavoir in Quebec?
