OH. MY. GOD. You're trying to tell me that a *Content Provider* wants to
make their content available via a VOD service?

This is clearly an indication that MS are about to buy the BBC and force
everyone to purchase a Microsoft TV. Quick, lets all petition to stop it!

I didn't notice you complaining when BBC Worldwide started releasing
DVDs of all their programs, which can only be played using special
hardware and software? (namely something that incorporates Content
Scrambling System technology)

Cheers,
