Microsoft looses lawsuit - has to stop selling Word

Microsoft lost a lawsuit alleging the company violates patent #5,787,449, an 1998 XML patent held by a company called i4i. The injunction goes in effect in 60 days and the company is not allowed to sell or demonstrate Word. It also has to pay $290 million in damages.

Give it a couple of day and they will settle for a bit of cash and the Earth will keep spinning.
