Microsoft Leaves U.N. Standards Group

pk2000 writes "Microsoft withdrew from a United Nations software
standards group for commerce." 'Unfortunately, for now, we have made
the decision to stop participating in U.N./Cefact for business reasons
and this serves as notification of our immediate withdrawal from all
U.N./Cefact activities.' This might be connected to Microsoft's
intention to build up its patent portfolio. Currently it has about
5,000 patents and seeks to at least double this number by the end of
2005."
