Microsoft would probably find it cheaper to support the challenge of
the patent. Maybe they'd be willing to donate the lawyer fees, since
that seems to be about the only thing stopping this patent from
getting blown out of the water. There doesn't seem to be any question
that there is prior art, and the patent is bogus. I'm pretty
confident Adobe could knock it down as well.
I'd like to see a single RIA the patent holder ever made.
Software patents really suck. Strictly conceptual ones even more so.
