InterVideo to port Microsoft Windows Media technology to Linux. The move will allow InterVideo, a supplier of digital audio and video software, to port Windows Media code to its embedded Linux version and include it in its software.

dunno if this is a Hoorah or hoo hah! I suppose for those addicted to streaming stuff it *might* make them happy.. tho I suspect that using this thing will mess up your "digital rights in favour of those from the Music, video, and god knows who else that is trying to remove "fair use" from our laws!

That's why I posted it here! I see this, (KNOWING how underhanded MickySoft is), as an attempt to bring DRM to Linux.....do it "in the back door." Fred -- Fred A. Miller Systems Administrator Cornell Univ. Press Services fm@cupserv.org, www.cupserv.org
