Microsoft and RSS Patents - Relax

It seems everyone is getting all bent out of shape about the Microsoft RSS patents.  Seems a little over blown and unnecessary (must have been a slow news day).  People seem must upset about the timing.  Yes, it seems Microsoft was holding a knife while they patted us on the backs.  Are they trying to make sure they have a stake in RSS or the benefits?  Or are they trying to protect OS level processes to remain competitive against Apple (hardware OS) and Google (web OS).

Regardless of the reason, there are three better reasons why it’s not likely to be granted:

Most patents applications don’t get granted because of prior art.  More will likely come to light so relax.  And have a happy new year.
