Do read this: http://www.eweek.com/ article2/0,1759,1714680,00.asp (Is Microsoft Ready to Assert IP Rights over the Internet?)

And then read this comment: http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=128797&threshold=1&commentsort=0&tid=109&tid=155&tid=123&tid=98&mode=thread&cid=10746498 or every comment at http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/11/07/0519237

Food for thought, isn't it?
Who's legal story should be swiped? Or at least significantly clarified to the fullest? Let's not forget that Microsoft has deep pockets and a history of taking a case all the way to the highest court possible for no other reason, some say, to frustrate justice being served or crush rivals.

Now some say this all boils down to legal speak meaning nothing but when was the last time Microsoft's lawyers went sweating over nothing?

Any reporter out there interested in following this up?
