Hm. Has anyone read the claims in the lawsuit that was filed, rather than the claims in the patent? Presumably the lawsuit will have to list specific instances they allege violate the patent, including programs and the specific behaviors of those programs. Is the lawsuit available publicly yet?
That should give us a lot of information about what they, at least, believe the patent means.

Reading the lawsuit Posted Oct 15, 2007 22:43 UTC (Mon) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] Yes, of course I read the complaint - I also linked to it so you can. The complaint lists specific claims that are said to be violated, but has no information on just how those claims have been violated. That will, presumably, come during the discovery phase.
Reading the lawsuit Posted Oct 16, 2007 1:22 UTC (Tue) by sepreece (subscriber, #19270) [Link] I believe, though I didn't check with my-daughter-the-IP-attorney, that the complaint only needs to allege one representative infringement in each patent - that the litigation would consider the whole patent regardless of the complaint because it's the overall amount of overlap that drives the decision.
Reading the lawsuit Posted Oct 16, 2007 2:36 UTC (Tue) by madscientist (subscriber, #16861) [Link] Sorry; that wasn't an accusation. More like an idle question. I haven't seen anyone address the specifics of the complaint... most likely because there aren't any :-/.
