Have patents really devolved to "take what we can already do, put it in a box that also plays video games" and have that somehow be an innovation??

Yes.

Is there some reason why you cant just copy the video file from your browser cache (like you can do with other streaming video files) ? Otherwise this seems trivial to work around.

Red Hat Challenges Swiss Government Over Microsoft Monopoly 245

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday May 25, 2009 @04:27PM from the fighting-ignorance-with-lawsuits dept.

An anonymous reader writes "'Linux vendor Red Hat, and 17 other vendors, have protested a Swiss government contract given to Microsoft without any public bidding. The move exposes a wider Microsoft monopoly that European governments accept, despite their lip service for open source, according to commentators. The Red Hat group has asked a Swiss federal court to overturn a three-year contract issued to Microsoft by the Swiss Federal Bureau for Building and Logistics, to provide Windows desktops and applications, with support and maintenance, for 14M Swiss francs (£8M; $15M) each year. The contract, for 'standardized workstations,' was issued with no public bidding process, Red Hat's legal team reports in a blog — because the Swiss agency asserted there was no sufficient alternative to Microsoft products.'"

Among the factors the author cites are the three different philosophical perspectives on operating systems and software (Windows, Linux, OS X) and the trend toward open standards in the software industry. It's a very meaty article, with lots of historical perspective and technical analysis, but is well worth reading."
