IBM changes patent methods

From the IBM website:

"IBM Establishes Worldwide Patent Policy to Promote InnovationPledges Thousands of Hours to Community Review of Patent Applications; Reduction in Business Method Patents"
http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/20325.wss

I thought the most interesting parts were that they are planning to no longer purely business method patents. I am fairly sure this means no one click payment type patents. Just my opinion, not that of this association or my employer.
