I'm glad not to be the only one saying the Federal Circuit defied Supreme Court precedent in State Street. I do think we're a long way from a Diehr/Flook/Benson standard for software patents, though. The Supreme Court is being very careful these days to say nothing beyond answers to the questions brought to them. You won't see any long rants against lower courts like in Diehr.
