Actually Microsoft said it first
Back about 4 years ago a Microsoft manager actually stated why DRM wouldn't work. The article was a technet article. Steve Jobs of course just said the same thing after DRM had been a proven failure.

Microsoft does what Microsoft does best though. That's giving people what they want not what they need. Most people don't like being told what they need so giving them what they want is far more economical in terms of profits. So when big media companies ask for DRM with thier fist full of dollars Microsoft is more than willing to give them something even knowing it will fail.
