Just saw this link on CNN it's to an article on fortune.com
http://www.fortune.com/fortune/technology/articles/0,15114,466180,00.htm.  Quite an interesting article.  The best quote I think is from the end of the article: 

"InterTrust claims that its inventions cover technologies that Microsoft
has been weaving into its Windows XP operating system, Office XP Suite,
Windows Media Player, Xbox videogame console, and .NET networked
computing platform, to name just a few. If settlement talks fail and
InterTrust prevails in court, it would be entitled to a court order
halting sales of all those products. InterTrust CEO Talal Shamoon asks
rhetorically, "How much would that be worth to Microsoft?""

What would the world be like without Microsoft?  (just dreaming.)
