The owner [Philips, IIRC] wants a little $$ from each and every access point for the tech. Every DVD player, . . . home theater, portable, auto, PC, etc. etc. pays a few $$ to Phillips for the tech. If MS wanted windows to play DVDs natively, they'd have to pay Phillips for every single software license in the market, solely for that functionality. Therefore PC players needed a software decryption solution. That's why Windows had a Media Center Edition, and why for so long PC DVD players came bundled with some shitty DVD player software. If you think back, even when Windows had DVD capability 'natively' you had to insert that shitty player software disc that came with the DVD player in order to 'authorize' the functionality. |
