Story: Microsoft patents 'HTML applications'
Posted by: Anonymous (Thursday 11 December 2003, 1:19 PM)
Linux won't be allowed to implement this "solution". MS may "invent" more of these strange solutions and then - by virtue of their monopoly - promote them in real life; linux will be cornered.
Lets prevent this by creating a website with al kinds of useless inventions, so that nobody can "invent" them anymore.
On the other hand: if you are clever enough to invent something even more stupid, your patent applications may actually be helped by our incomplete website.
By the way: will the html-application runtime have webbrowsing capabilities? If yes: is it a (extended) webbrowser and as such not 'new'?
