The announcement was greeted with a <A href="http://www.techmeme.com/080306/p83#a080306p83">web-wide standing ovation</A>, especially from the developer community. The same community who demand all from Microsoft, feel gifted and special when Apple give them an inch of rope. When Microsoft introduced DRM into Media Player it was <A href="http://www.theinquirer.net/en/inquirer/news/2006/09/21/microsoft-media-player-shreds-your-rights">bad</A> <A href="http://www.aarongifford.com/article65.html">bad</A> <A href="http://p2pnet.net/story/12324">bad</A> - and it wasn’t even mandatory, it simply allowed content owners a way to distribute and sell content from anywhere. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C7DFF9DE-99D8-4627-83CC-A4BF1284C72D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
