Yep, totally ridiculous... the patent office needs a total overhaul. They obviously know nothing about software development.

Um, just by the way, why is MS called Vole? I've seen it a few times now but havent been able to find the / of the nickname. If its derogatory, maybe they'll patent the word "Vole" to stop people using it against them next...
