This is Microsoft in an act of desperation. Microsoft's gradually become irrelevant as its core customer is now a shrinking base of home users who (are forced to) buy Windows only with new PC's.

Patent on software ..my rear end. Next we will have someone come forward and demand a patent on quickSort and bubbleSort.
