Microsoft targets Apple with WM9 Series Arrow
InternetNews | at | by Mike
After making a point that advanced features within the Windows Media 9 Series digital media platform would only be available on its flagship Windows platform, Microsoft did a sudden about-turn this week, announcing that a new version of the Windows Media Player (WMP) for the Mac OS X would be released in the fall.
While a version of WMP has always been available for Mac users, DRM capabilities have been somewhat limited and the word is the new WMP for Mac OS X will support full playback of WM9 Series encoded content, including Windows Media DRM versions 7.x through 9.
