Downloading video files to your PC is the future,

soon I figure that DVD's will be a thing of the past and video/films held on a memory card will be of whats to come.

I downloaded all of "Prison Break"'s first season via Itunes. I'm perfectly willing to continue doing that. Has it occurred to you that Fox may simply be adding an adjunct for people who don't use an Ipod? It doesn't look as if they're excluding anybody at this point.

Microsoft doesn't disallow the use of Windows Media Player on Apple's Mac's....Apple does not allow for it....only recently has Apple allowed for the Windows XP OS to boot to their Mac's, but only with the idea that they will win Win PC user's over to the Mac's in the long haul (altho I doubt it)...the closed operation you're referring to is not from Microsoft, it's from Apple....

Apple's DRM'd audio and video content from it's iTMS service is just as closed, but because the world's PC market is about 80% Microsoft, and 5% Apple, the accessability (or lack thereof) to Apple's proprietary systems is not deemed as important or prevalent as it is with MS systems, so Microsoft gets the bad rap. Why else would the worlds' iPod users - which make up 70% of the DAP market - predominantly use Windows XP OS over Apple's OS X?? If it wasn't for MICROSOFT allowing for iTunes compatibility, and not APPLE allowing for iTunes to be used with PC's, the iPod would not be anywhere as dominant as it is today.....

Quit blaming Microsoft, and look at Apple, once in a while....

iPod unfairly dominates the MP3 player world. No one mentions the better Creative Zen Vision:M Player which works with Windows and the new URGE system.

DOA. Another system built around the needs of copyright holders instead of the wants of actual people.

iTunes lets you put any purchased content on 4 computers. You can also play it on your iPod and with the right cable connect it to your TV as well. If you chose to do so you could also burn it to a Disc nd then play it on an unlimited amount of devices.

iTunes is also cross platform. It allows users on Windows and Mac operating systems to use it reaching a wider audience than a closed Windows only operation.

I do iTunes. If they arn't on iTunes they don't have my business. Simple as that.

They are a lot more lenient than iTunes, 2 machines and devices - thats 4 playback devices for only $2!

TWENTY BUCKS? They're crazy. Ten bucks, maybe, but 20 is just nuts. I wonder where they got their pricing ideas...

I don't care as long as Fox continues to sell them through iTunes.
