Haha, i think its ridicilous since those 2 buttoms have been on the keyboard like forever xD

 

[Ridiculous]

I read it, but I still didn't get it. Could you sum it up a bit?

 

[Cuias]

That's stupid. I think I will patent the button A, so everytime some lets the user type A, they musy pay me.
Seriously, this is one of the dumbest things MS has ever done.

I had to read it through twice,


Microsoft wants rights to the buttons PGUP and PGDN Saying they invented it.. Mainly meaning they are trying to make more money..

No need to be like that, especially when he is right. MS is well known for copying everyone elses ideas, as goes for the GUI and multi-task system.

It mean they are the only one who are allowed to use/produce those buttoms xD

It's somewhat the same as having the Copyright for those buttoms.

Well, seen Bill Gates is not the most rich person anymore he wants his title back..

 

[theninjaway]

Bill Gates already rules the world, what else does he want?

 

[sambroughton]

Maybe if we all just scratched one letter from all of the worded keys on our keyboard, Bill Gates wouldn't be able to control everyones' lives, and we would all have funny words on our keyboards :-D.
