Licensing IP can be an attractive revenue stream and a very profitable one at that, especially for companies that have a rich IP portfolio such as Microsoft. Microsoft can look at its portfolio and see where it makes sense to license some of these technologies. Where Microsoft can get a broader reach by licensing some of these technologies, it will go ahead and do that.
Microsoft has been offering a keyboard and mouse for a long time with the company logo, but people may not be familiar with it. More people may be aware of these technologies through licensing than they otherwise would have.
The hardware IP initiative is definitely a good step forward for consumers. I think it will get the ball rolling to see what else Microsoft may do in terms of licensing IP.
