Surprise?
https://developers.slashdot.org/story/24/09/18/0210233 Now Microsoft has received a patent for something people have been doing, routinely, for many years. It just goes to show how a) completely broken the patent process is, and b) how assholic Microsoft is. His involvement with Microsoft does nothing to enhance von Rossum's reputation. Hope the money's good. I guess.
