What is concerning to me is what exactly was MS getting sued for?
Was it the entire use of XML in their new Word document format(finally opening up the format for others) which would effectively put every IT company at peril, or was it a particular implementation or customisation that they objected to?
There's a lurking danger that MS wont be the last company to be sued, and this could effect the little guy as much as the big guy.
Is this going to be become the debacle that was the GIF format?
