VMware actually filed and was granted a patent for the same technique, years earlier, though to my knowledge they never used it for anything (not even for counter offensive purposes against MSFT :).

Microsoft would have had proof of using the technique earlier. It was designed into the Xbox 360, so it would have been already taped out by that priority date.
