More Microsoft Patents

An anonymous reader writes "One of the editors of LinuxWorld Magazine has an entry in his blog detailing more patents that Microsoft recently acquired. No, this isn't a rehash of the sudo patent. The new patents include one that seems to patent the use of the keyboard to navigate a web page! See the article here."

    With as little as IE has changed over those seven years, referencing IE 3 is probably just as well.

    Linux is a toy for nerds and nerd wannabes, it still has a long way to go so the NORMAL users can install it and use the applications. So it will not take over the desktop, nor will it be a threat to MS at any time...

    Your remark of willingness to pay more for apps in linux is laughable, use a free OS, pay more for the apps...ya that makes the TCO bottomline look good...lets not forget the lack of support ...Slashdot and Cmdr Taco need to stop the bashing, the hate, the mindless trolling directed at MS...

    (___)*(___) --Cmdr Taco can plant his lips here for trying to ban me.

    Slashdot fears anyone that won't fall in line as a Hate-drone so banning like a little baby "it's my ball, and we play my way or you can't play" ...how is truth such a threat to slashdot? Why does Cmdr taco fear truth about MS but is soo ready to allow bashing and hate group propaganda to be posted on slashdot??

    Ever wonder if you were to pull your head out of your ass and stop hating so much, that you could actualy do something constructive??? or is that too much for immature slashdot editors???

    Insightful? I hate to bitch about moderation but reading the article would let you know that it's already mentioned.

    If possible, make this +5 Redundant because it's one of a million "lynx" comments...
