Well, if you look at patent #398-AL3K-VILI37-728888201 of Microsoft, you quickly realize that they have patented the "rebooting" process (as is described by their patent #9835-C4-3310) so technically speaking, every time you reboot your machine you're committing an infringment upon a Microsoft patent. I'm surprised everyone doesn't know this. It was created due to the extensive use of the "rebooting" feature on all Microsoft products.
