Groklaw reports on a new software patent issued to Microsoft. "Lordy, lordy, lordy. They have no shame. It appears that Microsoft has just patented sudo, a personalized version of it. Here it is, patent number7617530. Thanks, USPTO, for giving Microsoft, which is already a monopoly, a monopoly on something that's been in use since 1980 and wasn't invented by Microsoft." Computerworld's IT Blogwatch covers blog reactions to the issue.
