Story: Microsoft patents 'HTML applications'

I certainly hope this is a joke, but then again M$ has never joked when opening up "another" security hole in thier OS.
I would hope the Mozilla writers as well as other browser writers will have better sense than to allow this kind of crap.
Just another way to prove that you will have to have more third party software to fix and protect what M$ couldn't or wouldn't.
