Default MS Mugged over VC-1!

The best read in ages, it turns out that MS have little to no IP in VC-1 after all.

Link

Sixteen companies, including MS are entitled to royalties earned from the use of VC-1, while MS may have a larger share than some companies, it is not that much.

Out of the 125 patents required to use VC-1 only two of them have been attributed to Microsoft, I wonder what Amir will have to say about this.

It turns out that Sony have more patents in VC-1 than MS by what seems like a big margin, now will we see an end to the codec war?
