Fort Worth, Texas-based Vertical Computer Systems said Friday that it has filed a patent infringement suit against Microsoft. Vertical filed its suit Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Texas, claiming Microsoft's .Net technology infringes on its patent.

A Microsoft representative said that the company had yet to be served with a copy of the lawsuit and said it was premature to comment.

It's the other way around for once..! lol
This will be interesting actually, since .NET currently exists in an open source form too (search for Mono Project for more info)..

I'm not sure what exactly this is on (I didn't RTFA), but I doubt it's specifically to do with a language, rather, the architecure itself..

Very interresting, thanks BlindG!
