The Singapore Daily

It’s a slow tech news week as everyone is celebrating. Except the folks in Microsoft. According to the US court, Microsoft Office 2003 and 2007 infringed a Canadian company’s patent. Microsoft is ordered to stop selling Office 2003 and 2007 in the US from 11 Jan 2010. Sounds bad.

But before you start smuggling copies of Office 2007 to US and sell in black market, Microsoft has issued a patch to remove the portion that infringed the patent.
