What is particularly ironic is that the entertainment industry is losing
interest in DRM.

Ironic or...maybe Hollywood planned to leave Microsoft with its ***
flapping in the wind?

I'm still waiting to hear a plausible explanation for why every other
Hollywood film promotes Apple computers. One thing is certain -- Apple
isn't paying to have its products displayed in movies. The only films
in which I've seen Microsoft products displayed are in those put out
by Sony, which only makes sense, since Sony's Vaio line of PCs comes
with Windows pre-installed.

The impression I'm left with is that Hollywood hates Microsoft.
Perhaps the clique that runs Hollywood sees Bill Gates as a potential
rival?
