A Canadian developer  won a $290 million court judgment against Microsoft.
Microsoft violated patent rights in developing the ''Office Word'' word processor.
Microsoft was selling the ''Office Word'' word processor for US$ 100.00
Now it cannot sell it anymore.  They have to develop a new one.This week      
This week a federal appeal court rejected Microsoft's appeal.
It confirmed the decision of a lower court.
Microsoft has to pay ''  i 4 i '' a huge sum of  $290 million in damages and interest.
They have violated the patent rights of the Toronto, Canada  software company.
That company developed the ''XML editing technology''.
Microsoft used this technology to develop their word processor ''Office Word''.
Last year Microsoft was fined  US$ 4 Billion by European Union for some
Trade violation.
These shady practises have made millions of users hate Microsoft and its products.
That's why people are changing to other operating systems other than '' Windows ''.
People are going over to ''Ubuntu'' of Linux --- a rather difficult program, even though
they offer free download or send a free CD,  on request,   when postage of $ 2 or 3 is paid.
As for the word processor,  we can use the JARTE word procesor.
its  ''free''  and easy to download and install.
And use ---  it works like a soft breeze.
Just google the word ''jarte'' and get the lovely product.
