I've read your post, and understand your logic, seeing your points. However I feel no sympathy for either side in this case, nor does it do any to increase my faith in the US copyright system.
If this only works on Windows, then I feel fairly secure; I rarely keep important files on my Windows machine. If this works in Linux, then I'll have to leave Firefox off for awhile.
The internet portion was/is already there using Real player... currently works cross platform. What they want to do seems like a downgrade, to me at least.
The content is subsidized tax dollars, so is only free for some people - the tax payers don't seem to have a problem with this. However the BBC, is attempting to take this content which is supposed to be broadcast freely and lick it into some MS format.
I can only imagine how many ways this can go bad, and I am sure that I am not alone. But how about all of us that think that this likely to go bad just be quiet on this one - lets hope for the best, what's the worse than happen?
You seem to be under the impression that the plan is to rely on the kids to maintain the items themselves. This seems to be more of an it is possible, than this is Plan A.
Say what you want, but these are much requested features from Microsoft's customer base. What is causing the confusion is that these wanting-to-see-HD-content people mistakenly think that they are Microsoft customers. They are Microsoft's consumers, all of whom have accepted the Windows EULA, and so might as well stop complaining.

I hope you don't use Windows, with that comment about forcing others to use.
Microsoft operates in the real world - in the real world I only give respect to those who have earned my respect, or who have it by default and have done nothing to lost it; Microsoft fits neither of these to me.
and you're compiling from source... don't. Don't compile from source then complain that installing it is difficult. Use a modern distro and install via packaged binaries - which can usually be done with one command (or a few clicks).
Would be nice if browsers remove (likely troublesome) code for support of older versions now. It would be nicer if IE did logical things with it's rendering too, but I've kinda given up home on that.

I fixed this problem.. no coding required.
Microsoft - of that i have no doubt
Post install of Fedora 7, the only thing I spent time tweaking was KDE to get my perfect KDE look - this was on my primary desktop. How about you?
definitely a foe of a friend
Since when? Has that ever been a rule in recent human history?
They changed the name
I think Diebold does in fact make ATM machines.
Microsoft has a stronger marketing department.

You all should have hosted those servers on RHEL with some tight SELinux policies.

Not good as SELinux as far as I understand.
It's not like anyone asked him a question or something.
But what does all that have to do with respect?

You could use a modern distro that has package management facilities. Then it's a matter of one command or a few clicks (if you prefer GUI)

Could someone tell me ho legal this is? Seems to me that police type groups shouldn't be able to pursue what could easily be construed as a vendetta.
