RE: Microsoft's got patent for page up and page down!
As RaceProUK said, the interpretation of the patent is being twisted in the news excerpt. The patent which they have registered isn't even in most software including their own Office applications and the browser which I'm using to post this. It's not going to have much of an effect on most modern software.
Besides, if Microsoft invented it then they have the right to be rewarded with exclusivity for their innovation. If they didn't then that's what the courts are for...
