Eolas COO Says IE Changes A Shame

capt turnpike writes "Hot on the heels of Microsoft's announcement of a 60-day period in which Web developers will have to change their pages' architecture, the COO of Eolas, the company whose suit forced these changes, gives an interview to eWEEK.com in which he says these changes are a disappointment. Confused? From the article: 'There is no court order forcing Microsoft to do anything. Anything that is being done is of Microsoft's own choosing,' His position is that publicizing these forced changes strengthens MS's case."

This whole case makes me feel violated. Not only is it a patent-troll case, but it's one that makes me side with Microsoft on something. I feel so unclean...

It's just lucky for them that they didn't try to sue IBM over a patent this frivilous...

I just filed a patent on the invention of "Clicking to activate and use a control".

$500,000,000 has my name all written over it :) :) :)

Why are you mad at Microsoft instead of the bozo's suing for infringement of the stupid patent?

• Eolas bozos are bad.
  • Get mad at Eolas bozos is good

• Software patents are bad
  • Get mad at Software patents is good

• Microsoft are bad.
  • Get mad at Microsoft is good

• Microsoft customer/victims are good.
  • Get mad at customer/victims is bad

You good now?
