It may be more appropriate to compare a MSFT developer toolkit, to Spinco IPR licencing ?

one of the many ways MSFT has its hold is that despite a bunch of dev tool kits that get licensed, there are more than a few "undocumented features/tweaks" that the non-MSFT developers dont have access to.

Would QCOM/Spinco play such a game ? If they did, then it'd be hard for others to catch up. If they didn't then it may well come down to "who makes better ASICS" with the same IPR.

cheers, kumar
