Microsoft ordered to stop selling Word

In a patent infringement lawsuit filed in Eastern Texas, a Judge has ordered Microsoft to stop selling it's flagship word processing application, Word.  The lawsuit applies to versions of Word that open .XML, .DOCX or .DOCM files.

Versions include Word 2003 and Word 2007 as well as future versions.  It's unclear if the Mac versions of Word are affected.

I guess this is another reason to look at Google Docs, or even a nice little freeware program for the Mac called Bean.

Everyone wants a piece of the pie these days.  Lawsuits seem to be the way to get it.
