I don't get how it's different from the iPhone interface shown at http://www.apple.com/iphone/. Microsoft's version only has three columns instead of four and no "dock" (and they moved some icons around at the top of the screen), but where is the innovation that makes it different and patentable?

The patent was filed the beginning of last summer....way before the iPhone was even announced.
