Yesterday, we may criticise the choice made by M6 not to support the Mac with its offer Replay.
The fault does not lie with them directly, but must be put on the back of studios offering content. They require the presence of Microsoft protection, seeing it as the only robust protection.
Of course, Apple is considering offering its software on both platforms could offer fairplay licenses and we would get out of the bind, but they prefer to retain the exclusive use.
The solution could come from elsewhere, Adobe with Flash Media Server 3.0 or perhaps Microsoft will introduce new DRM for video called PlayReady based on SilverLight 2.0 to be supported under Windows, Linux and Mac OS X . It will be available this summer.
