Eolas Wins Round vs. MS in Browser Patent Fight

glad to hear that Microsoft aren’t getting things their own way in the fight agains Eolas - the US Patent Office has rejected Microsoft’s attempt to squash a patent which could cost Microsoft hundreds of millions of dollars.

A Microsoft spokesperson admitted the decision was not promising. “This is disappointing news, but we are committed to seeing this case through to a successful resolution,” she said.

I guess that’s Microsoft speak for ‘we’ve been found guilty before and avoided being punished, so it ain’t over till Bill gates sings’

Microsoft’s court trial isn’t bound by the decision of the PTO, and could come to a different conclusion, though “such cases are rare,” Crouch said.

I guess we should prepare to hear about Microsoft lobbying the fool on the hill and all his cronies to make sure they get off

Evil evil, I hate them
