Agree in principle with the Cross OS thing of course, but annoyed it
will probably put back the iPlayer again for god knows how long. 

It's not the BBC or Microsofts fault, they have to have DRM (which
realistically only MS could deliver at the moment) otherwise they won't
be able to deliver a lot (read the best) of their content because the
producers won't let them.

Seems ridiculous to me and appears to be simply about an anti MS agenda.

Spoiling the fun for the rest of us, bloody mac users ;)
