Given that Microsoft has been pushing pretty hard to make H.264 the 
WebRTC MTi video codec, I doubt they would neglect to support it in 
their own platform.

I didn't ask you to predict whether one would. What I asked for was 
much, much easier. What I asked for was a non-laughable story around how 
such a platform might arise in a way that precludes using the Cisco library.
