Is this nuts?  

it seems MS (at least I guess it's them) has applied for a patent for BASIC's IsNot operator.
A system, method and computer-readable medium support the use of a single operator that allows a comparison of two variables to determine if the two variables point to the same location in memory.
And are they ever going for broke ...
Thus, the present invention may be implemented in an environment of networked hosted services in which very little or minimal client resources are implicated, e.g., a networked environment in which the client device serves merely as a browser or interface to the World Wide Web.
So who is going to be the first to apply for a patent the 1 + 1 = 2 ?
