Hi Dave, RE: "that Microsoft will incorporate these patented technologies within their Operating Systems and Gaming Platforms and offer to license their IP to other companies in order for those "other companies" to produce graphics chips that are supported by Microsoft." Yes, it could do that too. But I believe it also allows MS to go after any chip maker that gives an MS feature to a MS competitor. I would have to really read the patent to know. I actually didn't read the details of the patent and frankly skimmed the article, so don't know which of the two cases it is. It could be one or both. Sucking it into the OS is certainly mode of operations (which moves innovation forward by providing the technology to exploit/use/build to). But patents also can provide protection on inventions should the need arise to do so. Regards, Amy J
