800426 2009-08-12 23:27:00 Patent law can be very tricky, let's see how the M$ appeal turns out.

I successfully got a patent revoked once, but that was easy, I was able to demonstrate prior usage and common knowledge for years preceeding the patent in question. In that case there was no question of infringement.
