With all of these patents microsoft is making, it seems like they truely do want control over everything... So, what part of the world does games hail from, or the current president of MS perhaps... Italy, maybe, or some other nation in the old Roman empire? Hmm...

Volt's comment immediately brought to mind User Friendly.

Exactly. Hence the capitalization.

The words "user friendly" have completely lost their meaning in today's society, as have a great many words...
