Actually I doubt they can patent anything on their desktop because most of it 
was allready on OS/2's - or more precisely, all there is on 
Microsofts "Taskbar" I allready used _before_ Win95 came out on the workplace 
shell with Lotus' "Smartcenter", that then became the "Warpcenter".

So if we're on comparison, I'd wish IBM to port the Workplace Shell (probably 
modernized) to Linux. It's over 10 years old but more features are way ahead 
of _any_ desktop available today
