The Start of the Microsoft Office Synchronous XML Epoch
In Jan. 30, 2007, the Microsoft Office Asynchronous Binary era, with its shrouded commands, cascading menus and copious toolbars, ended with Office 2003 giving way to Office 2007. With trepidation, those of us who had a personal 18-year business relationship with it knew what was coming. We had a choice; we needed to either acclimatize to this new environment or fall behind technically like those who clung to Lotus 1-2-3 and WordPerfect 5.1. The Microsoft Office Synchronous XML version of Office (Microsoft Office 2007) ushered in an epoch of user interface paradigm shifts and new file formats.

Eighteen years prior to Office 2007, firms invested hundreds of thousands of dollars over time on various versions of Microsoft Office. I call this the Microsoft Office 2003 era. It began in 1992 with Office 3.0 and ended with Office 2003. A huge investment was made in training, in-house development, product support and additional Microsoft Office integration applications.

Protecting Innovation in the Cyber World from Patent Trolls
With trillions of dollars to keep watch over, the last thing we need is the distraction of costly litigation brought on by patent assertion entities (PAEs or "patent trolls"), companies that don't make any products but instead seek royalties by asserting their patents against those who do make products.
