Bad news on the Eolas patent

Aw, rats. A federal judge has upheld the decision against Microsoft in the Eolas matter, barring Microsoft from distributing Internet Explorer that infringe on the patent. It's really looking like the only way this will be resolved in a way that doesn't frell over the web is if the U.S. Patent and Trade Office accepts examples of prior art and invalidates the patent.
