For the record, a patent is useless unless YOU have the $millions necessary to enforce it. A patent merely gives you the legal ownership of an idea, provided that there's no "prior art" (there usually is); it doesn't give you the money to prosecute anyone who infringes it. And if the infringement is by a multinational such as Microsoft, good luck sueing them!
