You jest (or at least the mods think so), but actually, you're not so far off the mark.

Not necessarily.

As Windows does not come bundled with support for any file system that isn't patented by Microsoft, lording those patents over people is quite anticompetitive.

Unlikely.

Or, at the very least, more-so than the whole IE thing which started all this monopoly stuff o begin with.

Unlikley.

Then again, the entire point of software patents is to make monopolies, so perhaps this is just what's supposed to be happening.

Perhaps.

Only time will tell if it ends up replacing auto-tune in that domain or not, but auto-tune will probably still be used for it's sound artifacts like it is in a lot of current pop music.
