Hollywood Still Doesn't Trust Microsoft?

"The majority of entertainment companies, unsure of Microsoft's motives and wary of its cutthroat tactics in the battle for the computer desktop, have preferred to maintain an arm's-length relationship with the software Goliath. But these days, studios fear digital piracy more than they fear Microsoft and have slowly begun to make deals to use its software tools, albeit on a non-exclusive basis."

Trust me, the world will be a much better place once Microsoft takes over. I say...embrace our new overlords. :wink:

Seriously, I can understand the concerns over Microsoft's motives, but currently they are the best solution for digital media copyright protection. Or at least the only company actively seeking to offer the entertainment industry with a full end to end solution of tools to help protect content.
