It's ludicrous that Adobe could be granted a patent for something this trivial. It's a form of 'drag and drop', something made popular by the earliest GUI's. Maybe someone should have patented dropping a file into a folder. This is stupid.
Surely that can't take away our right to complain about this. Everyone should go to Microsoft's site right *now*. I don't have a specific URL but just head there right now and do a search.
