The patents in question relate to the handling of information between servers and handheld telcom devices.

    Microsoft should be sued over patents simply because they are lobbying and sneaking patent-laws here in EU. In spite of democratic elections in the EU parliament rejecting the idea, the EU commision, which is not elected, is trying to force the laws through all the time in an unprecedented coup in the history of EU.

    There's no evil in this world. Just alot of ignorance, by which selfishness is the root.
