Just when I was starting to be a Microsoft champion and truly believe they had turned over a new leaf, they go and do something like this: Microsoft tries to claim a patent on RSS (just a few days ago). This is ridiculous and disgraceful! Everyone knows that Microsoft did NOT invent RSS! In fact, they were relatively slow to adopt support for RSS into their products. MS, you need to get those patent guys under control, before they seriously start damaging your newfound credibilty.
