LOL. If Microsoft really refers to Raytracing and not calls something else Raytracing it is actually one of the oldest algorithms creating 3D-imagery. That's "The Future". 
I remember back in the 90s we let our computers calculate for hours with POV-Ray, to get a pretty image. This one for instance is created by POV-Ray:
Well, this is also the basic problem with Raytracing: it needs way too much processing time. So games actually always used techniques that simplified it more, it looked worse than Raytracing, but not that much, and was WAAAAY faster. So, I don't really believe it will be used for gaming. It might look nicer in some scenes, but with oter methods you could just create way more polygons and keep real-time.
