If software patents had been approved in the EU the last time it was lobbied for Microsoft would probably be banned to sell Word there too.
The biggest problems with software patents arent that software is patentable, its that any action on a computer whatsoever seems patentable. Take two random actions, combine them and bam, instant US patent.
