Nobody outside the respective companies knows what is in the present agreements (the details are secret) much less what will be in any future ones. Actually I did run across the fact that the present agreement can be cancelled prior to this fall. I believe the SEC document used the term "under certain circumstances". The old pact could have been fees for perpetual use of CTXS code, but maybe not. Your guess is as good as mine. We don't know if future MSFT products will contain CTXS code. Though I think it unlikely, they may have developed their own. CTXS can't patent or control the end functional result of software, only the CTXS way of getting to that end. That's why AMD can produce microprocessors that are functionally identical to Intel chips by reverse engineering.
