Ok, Now Here Is Some News I knew I'd find something useful in this document. Under "Patent License Agreement" ---- 1. Definitions. 1.1 "Licensed Patents" means (a) U.S. Patent No. 5,603,031 (the "'031 Patent"), (b) any extensions, divisions, continuations, continuations-in-part, reexaminations, and reissues thereof, (c) any foreign patent applications or patents corresponding thereto, and (d) any other patent applications, patents or intellectual property reasonably necessary to the commercial practice of the inventions disclosed and claimed in any of the patents or patent applications identified in (a), (b) or (c) above, where such application, patent, or other intellectual property is owned or licensable by General Magic at any time prior to or after the Effective Date. ---- This is the General Magic Agent patent! So the speculations appears to be correct: Microsoft is bundling gmgc agents in with their commerce solution. This could be epic for gmgc. Sea Otter
