Daniel,
All I was pointing out was that MS didn't even do what you suggested.
You said "since all ideas are based on relatively small modifications of
old ones" and that is true.
They did not invent anything, although there patent would lead you to
believe otherwise. *grin*
So please englighten us, what about the patent is all that old?
Well, I looked at "arbitrary annotated source code" as defining any
data structure(object) and "format of a document having a serial format"
as governed by this source code. I've been doing that since I learned
to create records in a database over 20 years ago.
Maybe I'm over simplifying this claim.
Cheers,
Alex Janssen
