Courts banned Microsoft Word

Microsoft has been banned by a court and thus has restricted Microsoft from selling MS-Word due to 'the computer program violating patent'. The patent is owned by i4i Inc,a Canadian Company, and is for  the way the software(MS-Word) allows you to edit XML, a feature of the rich text documents used in the latest version of Word.

Microsoft has been protesting against the move and so is the Courts. And this battle don't seem to end soon and it looks likely that Word will be taken off the shelves in January unless they solve their problem.
