Wordless

A federal judge in Texas has issued a permanent injunction preventing Microsoft from selling "Word" software in the U.S. as well as any future versions using the same technology in question.

In May, Toronto-based i4i Inc. won lawsuit and an award of $290 million for infringement of their patent. The chairman of the 30-person firm told CNET that he would be happy to see Microsoft come out with a version of Word that removes the infringing technology.
