MS Issues Word Patch To Comply With Court Order

Posted by Soulskill on from the wrist-slap-complete dept.

bennyboy64 writes "iTnews reports that Microsoft has begun offering what appears to be a patch for its popular Word software, allowing it to comply with a recent court ruling which has banned the software giant from selling patent-infringing versions of the word processing product.
