Doug, I'd *just* be happy if MSFT bought them in a 1:1 stock swap!

(seriously, I think you are overestimating a few things).

1. The patent expires in 6 years.
2. Only the exchange of data for dollars is governed. (In retrospect, however, I feel that DATA will become much more valuable as the years go by.)
