last100: The history and future of DivX

Dave Zatz · 1 year ago

Nearly everyone who ISN'T Apple that offers protected video is using Windows DRM, so I see Silverlight as *an opportunity* to expand Netflix, Amazon Unbox, CinemaNow, etc services to Mac OS X and Linux platforms - hopefully later this year.

It would be kind of ironic if Microsoft solves the cross platform DRM problem. But Silverlight looks like it may do.
