The BBC
catch up TV service iPlayer (which uses Microsoft DRM)
is set to be on the Mac by 2008. Woo. However, we'll
only be able to stream content and not download it.
Sounds like a sneaky bodge, what a surprise. They'll
try anything to wriggle out of it it seems, they're
blaming some imaginary cost thing now.
Really it was no different than the BBC saying, unless you own a Sony TV, you can't watch our content.
Talking of things Microsoft, John Pugh MP has pointed out that the Government has pretty much sold its soul to Microsoft. There's a surprise.
Update: Not that I've got it in for the BBC, but this interview with Mary Taylor, President of UK Open Source Consortium, by Sean Daly makes you want to shove their license fee where...well you know.
