- ChrisAntaki 13y agoAh, so you'd prefer that plugins continued to exist, to differentiate the open standards and the DRM?
- mwcampbell 13y agoThe DRM extensions are just as proprietary as the plugins they replace. And the Microsoft DRM extension, at least, is quite likely to go far too deep into the OS (see also http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/vista_cost.html http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/vista_cost.html).
