Re: Microsoft Got Spanked
Patent trolling is killing the software industry. Much though I loathe Microsoft, it was a mistake to EVER allow ANY patents of ANY software. Ever. There is simply no excuse.
And no, you don't need patents to justify innovation in the software industry; the ability to do things faster is, demonstrably, enough to drive innovation. Patents are hurting a ton more than they're helping.
