Microsoft's Linux-related patents rejected (ZDNet)

ZDNet reports that the U.S. Patent Office has rejected Microsoft's FAT patents (which ZDNet calls "Linux-related"). "The patent office delivered its ruling late last month but made it public this week. With one of the patents, the decision is what's considered a final rejection, while with another it's considered nonfinal. In both cases, Microsoft has the ability to pursue its claims further."
