I don't have any issues with MS selling a software codec that requires royalty fees, but it is a kinda dark practice not to use the same hardware codec by default when it is available. Right now it is surely confusing that MS defaults to suggesting paying for a software codec, when most have already paid for it in hardware they are using.
