Use an attorney to protect your rights. Even if it happens to be something that Microsoft would even consider, they'll bend you over in a second using loopholes you don't even know exist. It also might be a good idea to patent this invention so you have legal rights to its use and licensing.

Darthtanion is right in that if it is a for sure original idea, then you better get an attorney on it right away and should patten it. Unfortunately I don't think you can get a patent on the idea; you have to produce a model of the invention and blueprints on it before it can be pattented. Therefore I hope whatever your idea is, is fairly simple and cheap, instead of complex and expensive. The patent costs money as well. Just a little foresight.

Well, it sounds like this is going to be a lot more work than I thought. I better start with designing then. Thanks for the info.
