QUOTE i4i Inc, a Toronto-based company, won an injunction against Microsoft regarding the company's XML patents. The injunction “prohibits Microsoft from selling or importing to the United States any Microsoft Word products that have the capability of opening .XML, .DOCX or DOCM files (XML files) containing custom XML," and Microsoft has 60 days to comply. http://mason360.com/20090812497/News/Techn...-in-the-us.html http://www.softsailor.com/news/6453-texas-...ted-states.html |

QUOTE(Buttsex @ Aug 12 2009, 09:55 PM)  And nothing of value was lost. You'll probably be bitching when they come after OpenOffice (which, presumably, violates the same patent, since it also stores its documents as XML files). |
