apple wont get the patent, and if msft does... they won't make any money from it.
this is a non-story, that we lap up like the cartoon idiots the tech rags imagine us as. |

Apple has been using the interface since it's inception. Microsoft has NEVER used the interface. I don't understand how prior-art doesn't come into play here. TL |
