Unless Microsoft wins its appeal? You mean they can drag this thru courts for years to come before this becomes final? Wow, a great achievement for sure.

Royalties? For "inventions" like XML, MS IPX, NT Domains and MS Kerberos perhaps? Have a go at IE HTML or CSS maybe? RTF, CSV, ASCII? Word or Excel document formats then? Surely something mentioned here should be 100% original, never been used or thought of before by anyone other then Microsoft, for sure.

Not?
