You're right Tim, as well as Benjamin. Nonetheless, the HDCP requirements and alike, look like more a way to create a dedicated hardware (a disk player and so on), rather than to enable the home-pc-center. This latter is a Microsoft idea and necessity.
I really wonder if Apple will encumber its computer line of product with that (assuming that any monitor will not become a problem) I would bet that Apple enable its mini mac just for this purpose as an other product. Sure, it's expensive for the user when one knows that a single box could do everything. > _______________________________________________ > Open-graphics mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics > List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com) > _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
