Microshat really needs to spend less money filing for patents that they can't enforce (almost every GUI has a double-click feature) and more mony reducing the BSoD rate.
Hi everybody next they are going to patent using the restroom. Wait wait that a hell of a Idea. Now I'm the only one who can use the restroom. Ha ha ha heh ha ha.
Wow i'd say that is the stupidest patent ever, but i bet there are dumber ones. My question is what do they intend to achieve with this truly needless task?

So what does this mean for the computer industry? Does Microsoft get a nickel every time somebody double clicks?

This is very old news, but still worth a digg just for the sheer idiocy of the patent.
