Well, what now, MS can try and invalidate the patent if this "discovery" is upheld in court, will that change MS for the better?. So morally what should we do?
1. The patent is outrageous, and demonstrate with a "GO MICROSOFT"
or should we wait until MS gives us a hint by replacing its index page with "in protest against software patents"?

Well I would like to contradict those people claiming "people buy Linux computers to escape MS tax and to run bootleg Windows". What about people like me who removed Windows and use Linux exclusively?. There may be numbers to be crunched, but I think the price is enormous - having to pay for something you don't want - And don't forget, not everybody will resort to this behaviour to save $$$, for instance corporate customers.
