I really doubt Microsoft would be worried about the backlash either, but with that said, I think there'd actually be very little. On the spectrum of legal issues when it comes to technology, this wouldn't rank high.
Also, just to clarify, the above post I made has little to do with claiming that Sony should or will attempt that method. It's really just a response to KK's comment that the work around would be law-suit worthy. While it's not really practical, according to the wording of the patent, it would be very difficult to sue over.

Judging from the notion that they haven't done anything yet, whatever it would be, I don't think they really give a shit (again, Sony announced this a long time ago for this summer and this patent wasn't known to exist until Ripten found it on April Fools Day, of all days). Which is kind of weird (maybe MS themselves don't know it exists).
Either that or their more worried about the state of the company now that Bill Gates retired (or whatever language was used for his stepping down) and that the 360 is not the juggernaut it was last year.
Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do with it and with this update.
