Ok, I need so stay away from the posts because I can really feel myself getting dumber everytime I bother to half ass read them. Ok, one....the article that everybody is refering to says NOTHING about Microsoft (the entire thing does not mention the company once). Has it ever occured to you that it has something to do with the encryption type the record companies have opted to go for...and don't you think that the Unix variety will come up with support for that type? Hmmm, so what if Microsoft happens to have support for the codecs they are wanting to run....just means they are more compatable and willing to help the record industry. How many of you bothered to read the actual link to that article before deciding to go off with this whole "down with the evil empire" idea? And as far as converting the format to one that is burnable? How is this possible if the files are read only in the first place? Now, that is a subject that would require actual thought now isn't it? Best of luck.

Cordially,
