What I want to know is how the USPTO allowed a patent of a technology that ALREADY existed in the mainstream for many many years! Just goes to show the Microsoftcentric people that Microsoft is indeed the "evil giant" who's trying to completely dominate every desktop and server. Any of the old-timers here rember PowWow? It notified the end user that the person they are communication with was typing and this was back in the mid 90's... Link
