M$ Held Hostage

Just appalling - one employee (undoubtably a receptionist), a bunch of lawyers and no engineers holding the worlds largest software company hostage over a patent on an obvious process.... and now they're threatening to go after others! No wonder AOL released the Netscape folks and set Mozilla free!

Will browser verdict snare others?. A patent-infringement judgment against Microsoft and its IE browser raises speculation over which company in the Web browser market might be the next target of Microsoft's pursuer. [CNET News.com]

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.
