...if only. The odds of *any* company that might buy out M$ (well, if it 
isn't started by Gates and/or Ballmer and/or such) being as bad as M$ 
have got to be pretty high ;-).

More likely, M$ sells the patents to a puppet company that has made no 
such promise. Said company happily starts bringing lawsuits.

Hey, they've already got Myhrvold (Intellectual Ventures) to sell to, 
and OIN is useless against a tro^H NPE.
