Mike's got a hardon against Microsoft, so cut him a little slack for being 
off-topic. There aren't enough posts here now for it to matter as much as it 
once did.

The U.S. Patent Office, knowing little about computers or software, began 
granting unwarranted software patents years ago, and companies of all sizes 
are just taking advantage of the Patent Office's idiocy.  Everybody and the 
fleas on their dogs are applying for patents, and having them granted, for 
trivial, non-unique, non-original work and then suing everyone in sight.

It's not just Microsoft, and it's not 'just desserts'.
