Who looses in this?  Microsoft?  hardly.   You wait and see... some
small business will soon be on CNN/CNBC claiming that stupid patent
enforcement laws prevented them from using/upgrading/securing MS Word
and that MS Word should never be encumbered again by threat of patents
(because after all M$ has a recent history of saying that they
wouldn't go after some obscure OS's user base....).
