Just another "innovative" way for M$ to "compete": http://netscape.zdnet.com:80/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2790355,00.html I have also read (on CNet) that M$ is pulling MP3 codecs from XP. If users want to use MP3s, they have to either buy the plug-in for Media Player from M$ or use something else. Of course, M$ is doing this so people will use their very own WMA format instead (which contains digital rights management). -- Sridhar Dhanapalan.
