Microsoft sees $1.5bn verdict chucked out

Man, I sure hate to cheer for the Evil Empire, but this suit was so completely bogus that I'm not left with much of a choice. Let's just hope this apparently rational judge gets a hold of some of the other cases of patent trolls working their way through the system.

Microsoft yesterday overturned a $1.5bn ruling made against it for patent infringement.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
