Bill Gates, Entertainment God?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the future-of-home-av dept.

ppgreat sent in a wired story about the home of the future sort of story discussing A/V in a Microsoft Media Player 9 future. As seems to always be the case, there's a lot of cool stuff in there, but more than a few eyebrow raises.

    What are you talking about? I have media player 9 and I'm able to turn off DRM just fine.

    In fact, it's the same place in both 8 and nine, AFAIK.

    Are you trolling, or just objecting to DRM being there at all? If it's the latter, you have to realise that having it there, and able to be turned off is a quite reasonable compromise to both the users, and to the content providers [who otherwise wouldn't share their content for -reasonable- fear of pirating.]
