  Anonymous Reader writes "It's a year now since the EU Council made
  its shocking decision on the software patents directive (which was
  later killed during the "Second Reading" in EU Parliament). It's
  still not clear why and how exactly the EU Council became so
  Banana-Republic like, but there are increasingly strong reasons to
  suspect that Microsoft's money played a significant role."
