IBM's patent offensive

The "Start" menu in Microsoft Windows since Windows95 also
looks like it infringes the tree menu patent. One process (Explorer.exe)
is giving access to facilities in other programs.

I'm not privy to licensing agreements between IBM and MS, but
maybe this could get interesting... ;-)
