Monopoly abuse?
Interesting how much flak Apple has received for not licensing their
FairPlay DRM to everyone else. Here you've got MS killing off their
DRM system for any OS other than Windows (no WMP, no MS
protected content). Isn't that just as abusive, if not worse than
what Apple is doing? At least with FairPlay, you can play the
content on more than one OS.
