So no problem for care2x..
Not only that, but this patent is being disputed on a number of different levels. This patent is just another one of the attempts by Microsoft, and other big companies, to "improve" their business standing. Microsoft supposedly register for 10 new patents each day. Why? Simply so they can have some leaverage in the market to try and use against other people. The majority of these patents are flimsy in the description, can be shown in prior art and should never have been given in the first place.
