Yes. it certainly is. In a few years, once we solve this problem, I expect to be back here trying to kick certain people out of their dogmatic slumbers with respect to the *next* market-share blocker. > Shortly movie download stores with > encrypted HDTV files that require a signed Windows driver stack backed > by TPM will set the bar for you if you define what is needed as > "whatever Windows can do". No, I define it as "what nontechnical users will consider us useless wankers if we don't do". Which doesn't include TPM, because users haven't accepted that devil's bargain yet. If the history of DivX and other similar efforts is a guide, they won't. In truth, I think we can get away with not supporting WMA. But no MP3 is a complete laugh-at-those-idiots showstopper. QuickTime is somewhere in the middle. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/";>Eric S.
