my fav thing about win 7 minesweeper is that if you had a 360 controller it actually caused the controller to vibrate when you hit a mine

this seems pretty likely to me only i think they'll go after all the *craft and not just mods

like, they call the guy running whatever the biggest minecraft clone on ios is and they say, you can either start selling survivalcraft as a mod for real minecraft through our store, and keep selling your weird game on ios until we port this new version of minecrat to ios, or we'll paradrop a batallion of lawyers in three piece sharkskin suits on your office and it doesn't matter if your clone is fair use because you're like 6 guys working for 20k a year
they'll break even by suing the poo poo out of every mine craft clone

i love the MS hardware division. it's like they live in their own world and get to ignore the poo poo show that is everything else at MS. i really hope they work out of some abandoned office building in redmond that microsoft forgot about, and higher level VPs walk around the hallways of other buildings trying to find the hardware division and tell them they've been let go.
or they're like the division of ion storm that split off to make deus ex
