Do you recall an Office component called InfoPath? It was basically a form designer where the data was stored separately from the form itself. In reading the Wikipedia article on it, I see the designers patented this approach. Kinda funny as I had pioneered that idea back when laser printers first came out. The further irony being guess who Microsoft contracted with to write the application they showcased when they debuted the product in NYC? Yep, me!

Infopath IMHO was dead on arrival. But, hey, they flew me to Redmond, gave me a nice tour, I got to buy whatever I wanted for basically nothing in their company store, and so forth. No meeting with Bill Gates, though.
