Microsoft Planning Digital Restrictions Server

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the one-server-infrastructure-solution-to-bind-them-all dept.

Jon James writes "Microsoft is pushing further into digital rights management with a plan for a DRM server due to go into beta testing later this year, eWeek is reporting. Microsoft has already applied for a patent for a DRM operating system but would not say if the DRM server would be based on this. In an interview last week with eWeek, Jim Allchin, Microsoft's group vice president for platforms, said a DRM server is but one of three server infrastructure applications coming next year."

  2. you are all lamers by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Keep downloading your low quality mp3 files you lamers. You will never know how cool it is to watch legal movies on your pc. Sure you have your divx but without DRM you will only see someone else's rehashed garbage vcd or mpeg file. You are all garbage and unless you use microsoft windows series operating systems you will be left out of the new media revolution.
