Microsoft Patenting Office XML Formats

mmurphy000 writes "News(.com)+ reports that Microsoft has filed for patents in multiple jurisdictions to control the way other applications use Office's new XML-based file formats. Musings from pundits suggest that OpenOffice.org and other applications might be blocked from interoperating with Office. This, of course on the heels of today's article on Bruce Perens' concerns over patents."

Re:Ha!

[HiThere]

Not only is my head of state a corrupt weasel, but my vice president lives up to his title. And my governor wants to make the president look good by comparison.

Does it matter that I voted? I sure didn't vote for ANY of these creeps. But I remain left with the nagging feeling that the approved official alternatives might not have been any better.
