Microsoft Innovation: Buy real innovation and then patent it.
This has to be done like this because Microsoft has never really innovated,
they have simply successfully marketed the innovations of others. Now that
Linux is nipping at their heels they are clearly planning on using patent
laws to keep their monopoly going.
Lets hope that the rest of the world doesn't get sucked into accepting the
broken US patent system. It will be interesting to see if the Democrats do
anything to fix the broken patent system.
