Re: Bye bye Windows Media Player for Mac!

I'd be ten thousand times more positive here: the normal radio station company tended to say "oh sure we chose Windows Media Player because it plays cross-platform"... forgetting about fancy linuxes and many others... Now they cannot say this anymore and I really feel this is good, they will finally consider using something standard if wishing to be cross-platform, at least so I hope (e.g. MP3, OGG,...).

Well, it happened; after the announcement of their bundling the Telestream component I can't say I'm shocked, but I am disappointed.

Now we can certainly forget about Mac clients for WM content; no DRM support at all, no common client JavaScript interface.

What a crappy move; I guess they really are feeling Apple is a threat.
