Many large companies have started without software
Furthermore the patents are not used for development or innovation. Instead they are used to block any development and innovation.
I have seen nothing really new from microsoft for 20 years. Anything has been taken from existing products. This includes windows (apple/xerox), C-sharp (java), IIS (http/php).
It's ok to make your own flavor or brand, but the way patents are used is nowhere near innovating.
Because the usage of computers has become standard on most businesses, patents are now more and more affecting dayly life.
"You are not allowed to press that button, its usage is patented."
"You are not allowed to skip this commercial."
"Your money has been protected with patented DRM"
"You are not allowed to use this method for replying to a discussion-thread"
"Your opinion has already been patented."
"Your body has already been patented." (DNA, etc)
Can anyone tell me where it stops..
