Why is it that Roku, iRiver, Creative, etc. can all support Play For Sure formats, but Slim cannot??
Do they on Linux, MacOS X, FreeBSD, You Name It? They do it on Windows.
There's nothing wrong with implementing a windows-only feature, is there? I would love to see this, even though I understand it's not multi-platform. But I don't see it as being any different than having an option for iTunes. (which is multi-os, but NOT multi-platform)
Microsoft has never been shy about spreading their technology anywhere they can.
Except if it's on their competitors systems.
Of course they have a vested interest in their own OS. I would expect nothing less. It's no different (again) than iTunes not supporting WMA, or if Apple chose to only make iTunes for MacOS.
If anyone IS listening out there....I would LOVE to see support for plays for sure....along with NATIVE WMA decoding on the SB2 at least. I mean, not supporting these things can (and maybe WILL) be the difference between me continuing to love and support the SB, or going elsewhere for my needs. I think the folks at slim devices need to consider this, and realize that for better or for worse, windows rules the PC world. (and maybe even that MS is not all-evil like many like to preach)
Anyways...I'll probably be jumped on for my opinion, but oh well....I've sat quietly, and let everyone else have their say.
(and of course this email is not meant to offend anyone...just my opinion)
