Microsoft Double-Click (TM)

Here's an article (link) saying that the US Patent Office has granted Microsoft a patent (#6,727,830) on the double-click.

Huh?

Excuse me, but didn't Xerox develop the double-click with the original Alto? If not, it was Apple with the Lisa/Macintosh.

The Ivory Madonna usually admires arrogance and shameless chutzpah, but she admires the truth more. Microsoft always goes too far...

The Ivory Madonna's story is told in Dance for the Ivory Madonna by Don Sakers.
