The Federal Circuit finally wins one.

Yeah, if I were to try to generalize the dialog between the Fed Cir and the SCt lately it would be the SCt saying "Stop changing things so much!" 

Festo and Bilski were big (relatively) changes in the law, even deviating from SCt authority.  Hence, the big slap downs.  However, this case involved MSFT arguing for its own dramatic change to the law, not the Fed Cir.

Here's where we discussed the case prior to handing down of the decision:
