I'm sorry, you guys can sit here and spout your anti-MS rhetoric all you like, but as someone who has actually looked into the suit, as well as actually
USED the product that was supposedly infringed on (x4o), I'm backing MS on this.
This suit was assinine, the judge was a moron, and I'll applaud the appeals court when they overturn that bullshit.
And seriously guys, enough with the anti-MS crap on here, it's boring, tiresome, and pointless.
way for me to take the claim seriously. The article cited doesn't even describe what the case was about besides infringing on a "XML patent",
which means all of dirt to me since I wasn't aware of the suit to begin with.
Mostly because I'm sure I, like most everyone else here, isn't quite up to date on the particulars, and Microsoft's protests, viewed without
context, do seem rather childish if they were actually in the wrong. If they were in the right, however, that's another story, but, as noted, I have no
evidence to weigh in on either end of the spectrum in that case.
