Schon wieder ein (Gähn) iPod Killer

Diesmal allerdings nicht in Hardware Form, sondern als neue Microsoft DRM-Spielart, wie CNET meldet:
"Janus would add a hacker-resistant clock to portable music players for files encoded in Microsoft's proprietary Windows Media Audio format. That in turn would help let subscription services such as Napster put rented tracks on portable devices--something that's not currently allowed.[...]
Microsoft has worked hard to establish its Windows Media file formats in the industry and has won converts among record labels and music services. But it has struggled to win over consumers, having made relatively little headway against the dominant MP3 file format even as it has drawn antitrust scrutiny over its digital media plans."
