Hardware 2.0 posted a story that Windows 8 may violate Apple's new 'Slide to unlock' patent
OK, so as my ZDNet blogging buddy James Kendrick has pointed out, the granting of this patent means that every Android device now infringes on this Apple patent. That’s a pretty big deal. But he also suggests that Windows 8 might fall into the same trap.
Well, let’s find out if the Windows 8 developer preview works the same way shall we?
To unlock the OS, I just take my finger and slide it up. I wanna see that again. Microsoft obviously wanted something you couldn’t do by accident. Just slide it up … BOOM!
