I doubt they would even go that far. It would take a very strong overpowering argument why software is an abstract idea, one that has not been argued before in the many cases that touched on software patents. I think they will make a modest attempt to make things more clear cut, but given the history of such cases in lower courts, there is a decent possibility that they will make it more cloudy in the attempt. And given the uncertainty and the absence of a strong new argument, the natural lean is not to upset the status quo of the thousands of issued software patents. So much ado about nothing in the end.
