Why would it matter that they got a patent for this technology?
They could well have implemented these features without a patent. The patent merely allows them to prevent others from using the same technology. So, good news for Mac users etc.
The patent isn’t the issue here, but rather the threat to make new operating systems that will hamstring the user...like they do with all that DRM crap.
Well,...clearly they have implemented the techniques as described in the patent,....DRM is an example.
