Nearly every MS patent claim, as well as every other software patent, can be shot down using prior use as an argument.

Anyone think that MS will practice what they preach? Me either. :(

This is one of the exciting issues around simply because it affects not just Microsoft but many big organizations as well like Sun, Adobe, Macromedia and W3C.

There are arguments around about software patents. Some groups are into the "no-to-software-patent" movements. But for as long as patents for software are welcomed, issues like this Microsoft-Eolas case are expected to happen.

Basically, this case shows clearly that intellectual property has value. Apparently, both Micro$oft and Eola$ know. Fortunately, both can afford their respective lawyers...
