I've dreaded the day when Microsoft got its foot in the door for licencing of DRM and media formats.
There's just no way they will ever licence to anyone using Linux, which means it's almost two horse race in the mobile market. Windows Mobile and Symbian. Linux devices and the iPhone will be shut out. It's not much of a worry for Apple who have their own DRM platform.
DRM is as much anti-competition as it is anti-piracy.
