Here's an insane idea--what if every Win10 ARM laptop also included a Pentium 4 or Athlon XP chip (from a junked PC) glued inside the case? Would the x86 patent rights from that chip cover an emulator running on the ARM?

(I'm pretty sure it's a no, but an Aereo-esque lawsuit arguing the opposite would be fun to watch)



No more than wearing an Intel t-shirt would give you rights to all their patents.
